Last week fut coins the company's Director

Last week fut coins the company's Director of Technology Evangelism John Geleynse made some comments in which he referred to the iPhone http://www.mmovegas.com/ directly as a "gaming console" and went on to say "it's not a phone, it's a console experience." Doesn't get much more evangelical than that!This is just a month after iPhone marketing veep Greg Joswiak called the device's graphics performance "significantly greater" than that of the DS.

Not an assertion anyone will debate, but meaningful from a corporate-strategy perspective.Lastly, the Engadget story quotes an Apple press release announcing some good old-fashioned synergy with EA Games.Throughout the month of December Apple Stores in New York, LA, San Francisco and Chicago will host special "EA Games Sneak Peek" events where Electronic Arts will discuss why the iPod touch and iPhone are amazing platforms for mobile gaming...I've had an iPhone 3G since launch day and use it constantly--but never for games.
