John Carmack hearts the iPhone as a gaming platform
Carmack feels that the iPhone has huge untapped potential due to its superior hardware, responsive controls, and a ridiculous amount of space available: 10MB or more (the previous de facto limit was around 300KB). Given unlimited time and money, he feels he could make an incredible iPhone MMORPG (not what I would do with unlimited time and money but hey), but in the real world he’s aiming for “something good, and something quick.” Which I’m sure they can deliver on. I look foward to it — as long as it’s not ASCII Doom.
