A few of the new features it boasts is 3D graphics acceleration, built-in speaker, accelerometer, and the App Store through which you can download thousands of games. As a game developer, I’m not going to miss out on an opportunity like this! Ever since I bought my PDA six years ago, I have always loved creating small-screen applications (obviously it was far more primitive than what you can achieve with the iPod). There’s a certain satisfaction to carrying around your own software on the move.

In the meantime I’ll be doing some research. Cross fingers I’ll be able to port TIDE. Because I’ve abstracted OpenGL, it might indeed be possible to create an OpenGL ES wrapper. I’ll just have to wait until the big day to find out.
