The iPhone
The iPhone is a multimedia, Internet-enabled mobile phone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. It has a multi-touch screen with virtual keyboard and buttons. The iPhone's functions include those of a camera phone and a portable media player ("iPod"), in addition to text messaging and visual voicemail. It also offers Internet services including e-mail, web browsing, and local Wi-Fi connectivity. It is a quad-band mobile phone that uses the GSM standard, hence has international capability. It supports the Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) technology for higher speed and reliability.

ScummVM
In computer gaming, ScummVM is a collection of game engine recreations originally designed to play LucasArts adventure games that use the SCUMM system (the VM in the name stands for virtual machine). It also supports a variety of non-SCUMM games by companies like Revolution Software and Adventure Soft.
ScummVM is a reimplementation of the part of the software used to interpret the scripting languages such games used to describe the game world rather than emulating the hardware the games ran on; as such, ScummVM allows the games it supports to be played on platforms other than those for which they were originally released.
ScummVM was originally written by Ludvig Strigeus.[1] Released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, ScummVM is free software.

cure youuuuu apple.......!
Does it? ScummVM has been out for many other portable platforms before, and it hasn't made them must-buy. Doesn't make ScummVM or the classic Lucasarts adventures any less great, but I'm not running out for an iPhone just for this.

Really? what a fucking awesome guy.
Part of the iPhone's appeal is that it's capable of doing so much while still remaining something most people carry in their pockets every day - that is, a cell phone. The ability to play video games on the iPhone means that people won't have to lug around another piece of hardware. They just pull out their phones and play.

Use a stylus?
Satans..... hints.....
For some reason, the touch does not like stylus's, It only seems to like fingers, and the sytlus they have for the touch is just as bulky as my fingers.
This is not just the man who started the ScummVM project and wrote UTorrent. This is the man who did both of those and wrote OpenTTD, one of my favourite games of all time; an astounding Open Source reconstruction of Chris Sawyer's Transport Tycoon, bringing it up to current-day standards and easily eclipsing any other Tycoon game on the market.
As for my iPhone, I'm holding off on the hacks until the February third-party SDK hits. Hopefully, stuff like this gets legit and fully supported on the device.
Firmware updates from Apple kill all third party apps at the moment.
But its really not that hard to deal with. You just wait for someone to "Jailbreak" the firmware before upgrading.

Two free ones here: http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php#extras
Maybe you can buy some copies on eBay, or a local second hand shop/pawn shop.

So then shouldn't everyone just be buying Nokia's S60 phones? Since, you know, basically everything you've ever wanted for a phone is available for it (ScummVM, SSH Client, Python...)
The iPhone is very nice. What you say is accurate, but there are many unique features the iPhone offers.
However I don't see any reason to drag this thread into an iPhone debate.

Are you doing it just for SCUMMVM? Because as I understand it, this would work on the iPod touch as well, which is a lot cheaper, lacks things like being a phone but - I believe - still retains wifi connectivity.
Basically what I'm saying is, if you don't need the phone part, you could just buy an iPod touch or iTouch or whatever the crap they are calling it for a lot cheaper than an unlocked iPhone.
