The iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad are phenomenal devices for gaming. The biggest issue with gaming on iDevices is the touch-only control scheme. Some companies have created physical joysticks to work with these devices to make things easier. That’s a good start, but kijjaa! approaches iOS controls in a different way.

Nikkei alleges the 3DS will have a screen size similar to the DSi. The 3D technology will be complemented by integrating vibration to the handheld in addition to an accelerometer. The accelerometer would put the 3DS on a more level playing field with the iPhone and iPod Touch which have used this technology for years. It also sets the release date for the 3DS in late 2010.

System: iPod TouchPrice: $229 (8GB), $299 (16GB) and $399 (32GB)Release Date: September 2008 (2nd generation)Publisher (Developer): ApplePros: Incredible audio support and very accurate touchscreen and accelerometer (motion) controls. Lots of games to choose from including standard casual, card and puzzle games, as well as several system-only and online games. External speakers.Cons: No manual game buttons and a naked iPod is a bit slippery to hold. Home button slip exits the game without pause. No external media slot.Overall Score: One thumb up, one thumb sideways; 88; B+; * * * 1/2 out of five.

Apple has been promoting the crud out of the iPod Touch as being “the funnest iPod ever” with commercials that show a bunch of motion-controlled games.

While certainly not a Nintendo DS killer, the iPod Touch does offer some rather decent motion and touchscreen controls as well as all the iPhone’s main features sans the phone and microphone. There are a few small concerns for touch-only games but, otherwise, it performs well above most phones as a gaming device…

Product: T-Mobile G1Price: $179.99 ($399.99 minus $220 instant rebate)Rating: One thumb up, one sideways; 81/100; B-; * * * out of five.Pros: A great phone with lot of groovy uses. Mini trackball works wonderfully for games, decent graphics for a phone and nice sound. Also has motion-sensitive controls, touchscreen, mini keypad and GPS that can be incorporated into games. A lot of free games in the Android Market.Cons: Touchscreen requires full finger pad contact and sometimes slow to respond. Accelerometer is touchy and mini keypad is hard to see. Battery can be exhausted fairly quickly.Overall: Do not get this to use it as a game device. G1 owners will, however, enjoy many good and inexpensive games that make use of the mini trackball and proper use of the touchscreen, making it better than the average phone for mobile gaming.

The T-Mobile G1 is a mixed bag when it comes to mobile gaming. It’ll play all of the regular games but also promises so much more with the touchscreen, accelerometer motion controls, built-in mini QWERTY keypad and mini track ball. While it’s certainly better than your average cell phone when it comes to gaming, it still has a few annoyances that keep it from being truly amazing.

Heavily disguised and highly placed sources told GamesIndustryBiz that working units of the new controller have already been…
