Actually, not.
Best game (well, one of them) is SpecTreck.
Augmented reality ghost hunting game. Walk or run around using GPS and your phone's camera to find and catch virtual ghosts.
Launch the game, and a map of your surrounding area is displayed. On the map, it shows you four (or more, depending on the length of the game) ghosts you need to track down and "capture"...
Walk or run towards the ghosts on the map (yeah, you actually need to WALK to play this game, can't just sit on your couch), and when you get near them, point your phone's camera in the area they are shown to be. The "augmented ghosts" will appear on your phones screen, superimposed over your actual surroundings displayed on your devices screen.
Walk or run up to the ghosts, and a cage comes down and traps the ghost! Now, run around and try to capture the remaining ghosts.
Compete against other people for best time... your scores are compared to other people playing the game.
But... I"m sure iPhone already has this game, huh?
By the way, Adobe has already announced that Flash for the Android OS will be out 1st quarter 2010... in fact, flash is already available for one Android phone. Flash for the iPhone? um... no announcement as of yet.
Numerous developers (Flixster, Labyrinth, Bank of America, Papi games, etc. etc.) have already been ported over for the Android, too many to list here. And, numerous other developers have already announced they're in the process of porting their apps. It's all about $$$. As Android captures market share, the developers will go where the market is... not leave iPhone, simply add other major market OS"s to their product line.
At least one developer has announced that he's tired of Apples rules and control, and that he'll no longer be working on iPhone apps... he'll move to other platforms.
