In my day job I have been doing a lot of iPhone and Android development. How many of you guys have "smart phones" or are purchasing one soon? Would you like to play a game like PureSim Baseball 2 (http://www.wolverinestudios.com/ps2.html) on your phone? If not, would quick access to certain stats from your league be more appropriate?

I have developed some stuff that is on the iPhone App Store (not PureSim-related) and I absolutely love the Google Android platform, which appears to be finally gaining some momentum with Verizon's "Droid" phone.

So, is mobile the next market for niche text sims? :)

I have the iPhone and my most played game is PowerPros right now...I would play a text sim in a heart beat on it.

Maybe, especially since the processing power of the newest high end smartphones are beginning to rival low end laptops and netbooks. The screen resolution of some of the new ones (e.g, the Droid and HTC HD2) are pretty high, which means that you can pack more information on the screen than you could on older phones, including even the iPhone.

I myself am getting a Nokia N900, which runs on the Maemo OS. I use its predecessor (the N800) to VNC into my home laptop to play the occasional text sim.

BTW anyone with an iphone or iPod touch be sure to check out Baseball Superstars 2010 its got text sim and RPG elements, much much better than power pro's imo . probably my favorite game for the platform. really fun!

I have an iPhone and am always on the lookout for a good sim app for it. I'd love to see more good sports sims for the platform...

Thinking from a MP perspective - having a BB/iPhone/Droid/smartphone enabled draft utility would do wonders for a lot of these MP drafts.
