    In reply to ESRB President Calls For iTunes Game Ratings
    I'm an iPhone developer, and as someone mentioned above, iPhone OS 3.0 not only supports ratings but requires it. All application submitted to Apple from now on must have a rating of 4+, 9+, 12+ or 17+.


    The most important part, however, is that this is retroactive. Existing applications need to be updated, and if they aren't they'll be automatically rated as the most restrictive rating, 17+.


    So yeah, problem solved without ESRB. They just want to make cash from the review fees but Apple is eschewing them.


    What makes the iPhone/iPod an attractive platform is how easy it is to publish applications for it, and adding ESRB (or any other rating board) to the process would ruin it. I know I wouldn't publish anything if I had to deal with them.

    @coolguyface: That's how I see it as well. I do hope Apple ignores the plea as the ratings just aren't effective nor consistent in their claims. The ESRB and MPAA need to die.

    @new_age_soldier: You'd be amazed. I pick up my little brother from elementary almost every day, and nearly everyone in his class is calling someone on their bloody iPhones. I, on the other hand, had to wait until I was 17 for my folks to buy me a normal cell phone.


    This generation is so spoiled, god damn.

    Bah. No new controls, no new purchase. Apples crazy man, if they released an iphone/ipod touch with physical buttons and a dpad, they'd be at next years wwdc with a slide saying 100 million sold.


    Seriously, what are they waiting for?


    Also, how much faster is this thing than the ipod touch 2g? That thing is already faster than 36 iphones and it has 32g capacity.

    I can't justify the purchase of an iphone. The unit itself is an acceptable price. The Monthly fees though, make it not worth owning in my mind.

    I'm hardly going to sign a nasty, long-term contract with a phone company I don't really respect to play games on an iPhone.


    It's just not my thing ... congrats to those who were looking forward to this, though.

    It's a lot more appealing visually, though I'm worried about how it will compete with the app store, if it'll even try.
