Laptops built for gaming are a whole different beast, but the other mobile solutions are just hilarious. I think it is great that you can play Doom on your iPhone or Android device, but that is a game that is almost two decades old. Not very impressive. The power of the current netbooks is also laughable, when it comes to any sort of real gaming experience. Sure, a Nintendo DS or PSP can give you limited on the game playtime, but it isn't really comparable to the console or desktop PC experience.
I have a few games on my phone, but they aren't amazing or super interactive. Small city builders or sim games that are easily managed and not very "game-y". However the entire gaming and tech revolution seems to be ushering us toward some sort of mobile era. I think we may need to backtrack a bit and remember what is still important in 2011. THE GAMER.
How many of us, console of PC alike, really want something smaller than a controller in our hand trying to "game". I can't pwn n00bz with that. And we all know, that is really what matters. =P
