I'll be doing the first "PMQ style" Q&A thread (details) on /q/ this Wednesday at 10:00PM ET. Look for a link in the global announcement area.

PS: You can hide these announcements with the [-] button to the left now. It'll automatically show new ones and keep old ones hidden.

Janitor applications are now closed. Thanks to everyone who applied! We received 7,500 in 24 hours.

4chan now has a full-featured, inline extension. Read more about it on the news page. The extension is open source and on GitHub.
Some features are enabled by default—to disable, click [Settings] in the upper right-hand corner and select "Disable the extension".
In addition to the extension, 4chan now has a read-only JSON API. Crude documentation is available on GitHub.Our inline extension now supports image hover previews, and contains a few small tweaks.

The new iPhone is now more powerful than your console.

How does this make you feel?

It costs the same as a PS3 did at LAUNCH.

Imagine a console cycle that lasted two years.

So I feel pretty good.
>>
>>154620428
But a PS3 is optional.

A smartphone is mandatory.
You were going to buy one anyway. And the iPhone is actually cheaper than high end Android phones on Verizon for example.
>>
Too bad the games and the controls are shit.

Actually I wasn't Nokia 6330 here. I like physical buttons, and I don't need or wnat to be able to access the internet at any and all times and places.

Don't really care, not sure why anyone would to be honest.

But I do own a nokia anon, it can't even send attachments, its that fucking old. I have no intentions of changing it either. I don't need to be connected 24/7, you want to talk to me, CALL ME.

Or fuck just visit me, I have 8 contacts, 3 of them are family members.

nigga, I don't know what you're on, but my phone was old in 2009, and it still holds up and I still have it.

The iphone is a piece of overpriced shit just like any apple product.
>>
>>154621267
The iPhone is not and never was a phone. It is a pocket-sized computer that obviates the phone. The iPhone is to cell phones what the Mac was to typewriters.
>>
>>154620923
I know that feel. Texting and calling people is all I need my old ass phone for. Don't need to stay connected all day, erry day.
>>
Wait... why do we need a powerful cellphone? To play games with no fucking buttons?
Cellphones are for texting and calling people. With smartphones you can do some cool shit too, like browse the web and... Well, that's it.
But if you wanna play video games, then you buy a video game console, be it a PC or a PStriple360Wii.
It's ok that the iPhone can also play games, but it's also pretty useless. No one needs this shit.

I hardly even use my smartphone. I would never use it to have EVERYTHING IN THE PALM OF MY HAND!, because if it ever gets lost, broken or stolen then I'm fucked. I make calls, text people and occasionally browse the internet with it.

Fuck touchscreen games. Too much of a hassle to even play.

Wow it's fucking nothing.

I picked up a 4S because why not, and I was not very impressed. Next time I'm going Android.

What SNES emulator do you use?
I downloaded SNESdroid the other day, but every time I open a game it quits after about 3 minutes.

have you been outside lately? young people just don't know what to do with themselves. they have to occupy themselves with something and that something is cell phones. i've seen groups of young kids, instead of talking and socializing with each other, they were just on their phones. also, it goes hand in hand with the "nerd" thing because YES, the general public considers them video games.
back to the main point now: if you release a smart phone, claiming to have good graphics, people will want them -- the very same people i mentioned above

Literally the only game I enjoy playing on my phone is BubbleBobble and Bejeweled. Gamedev story is fun but I can play all those games on my computer anyways.

...but my Milestone is already more powerful than the 360.

And a very practical self defense weapon

>>154621368
I use mine to answer email so I can be away from my desk and still do my job during the day. Off-work it's there for mainly quick web access or short distractions, or to use the built-in and surprisingly good GPS. So I get a good amount of use out of it past basic phone use.

Still wouldn't want to waste money on an iPhone though, especially not to play shitty games. A $400+ surcharge on a phone (depending on how good of a smart phone you're looking at) just because Apple made it is profoundly stupid. I sure as hell am not going to try to load games on my phone either.

I have an ipod classic that's survived pretty much everything I've thrown at it.

Besides that, haven't bothered with any of their other stuff.

I jailbroke my iPod and mainly use it for the free apps and the emulators. That's really it. I don't use it for music that much.
>>
>>154621848
Yeah I use SNesoid. I used to have problems with a few ROMS being unable to run properly, but that hasn't happened for a while and I can't say I know how to fix it.

Of course I don't play action-intensive games like MegaMan X, because it's a pain in the ass to play with a virtual touchpad.
