One of the best things about the IPhone was it’s ability to play quality games and the large amount of software titles that were available in the app directory. You could use the phone as a replacement for the PSP and not miss a step. Now the Android phones have caught up and maybe even surpassed what the IPhone can do. Especially the latest hardware that has been released. The hardware has been increased so that 3D games run on the platform at higher speeds than the IPhone and almost comparable to a playstation 2. With a combination of an increase of the CPU and the GPU, this proves that Google is taking gaming on the platform very seriously.

Another advantage that Apple had with their IPhone, was the amount of software titles that were available for the phone. They had almost all of the big name publishers creating games for their phones exclusively. But the Android phones are closing this gap as well. The library of games is still not as large as the library for the IPhone but it is getting there. All of the major publishers are creating games for both platforms right now. They see the Android as a proven technology now, and they do not want to miss getting on the bandwagon. Plus, with the hardware that the Android has now, publishers can make their games look closer to the console versions better than they can with the IPhone.

Publishers are getting serious when it comes to the line of Android based phones. They see it as a serious rival to the IPhone. But not only the IPhone, but the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP as well. If you want to be able to game mobile without carrying two devices with you, then take a serious look at an Android phone. Your next game machine might be a cell phone.
