I was messin around with my buddies ipod touch last night, and was wondering if the apps for the storm are gonna be anything close to those on the ipod touch? They were awesome by the way. Any ideas?

I was wondering the same thing. A guy I work with has an iphone and everyone (except me because I'm waiting for the Storm) marveled at him playing games, turning the phone to move around the game. I know the Storm has the accelerometer but just wanted to know if it was gonna work with the games as the iphone does?
It would be nice if the apps would be on the same level as the iphone/ipodtouch, but seeing that I own an Ipod Touch already, I am not too concerned about it.
If RIM opens up the API then you could see some nice games on the BB. I never really understood games on a cell phone though. I had a few on my iPhone but rarely played them.
I would imagine to some extent...yes. But a majority of those apps on the iPod Touch are developed by younger folks which in turn naturally focus on a younger demo. I have a jailbroken iPod Touch and I have to admit...I find myself downloading 50% senseless apps like a drum machine and acoustic guitar simulator as well as iSoulSeek (p2p) (not a game player myself). Personally I don't think any of that will be developed for the Storm.
Then again, what do I know...the Storm will be my 1st BB. But I can attest to being a senseless app freak when it comes to my iPod Touch.
Yup, I've been holding out on buying any new apps for my current BB. Just waiting for the Storm to be released, then I'll be downloading apps like crazy.
BTW, there should be some REALLY nice apps coming in 2009. The first BB DevConf just ended this fall and RIM is supporting many app developers. So don't be surprised if you see a lot of comparable apps between the iPhone and Storm. After all, the developers want to get their apps on as many devices as possible regardless of if its Apple or RIM.
yeah, my friend showed me the lightsaber on his iphone. says they have battles at lunch. how great would it be if it could sense another iphone/touch via bluetooth and somehow "score" the battle. kind of like a wii game.
