Way back in January of last year I had made mention of the iPhone as potential gaming platform and now it seems with the SDK released that Apple is unveiling what back then was a prediction - the iPhone as a handheld gaming platform.

Around the net I see buzz about this subject, but one thing missing here seems to be the price tag issue and so as I was considering this still more it occurs to me that really it's not about the iPhone as a gaming platform. It's about the iPod touch as the game platform.

With the power of OS X, the SDK, the 16 GB of Flash storage and the 128 MB of RAM the iPod Touch looks to me to be the best bet for Apple to offer a device capable of kicking some serious gameplay butt.

If Apple markets the downloadable games and the Touch as the platform for gaming they can attract the kids who don't need, won't get or otherwise can't have a cell phone plan.
