iPhone Games Still Going Strong

So the iPhone App Store has been around for a week now. As many people know, I created the first, and still pretty much the largest collection of iPhone Games for the iPhone that work in the iPhone Safari Web browser. But I was wondering what would happen once the App Store was launched. Would people still come to play the games?

They sure are. I think it is easy to see why: they are still free, as opposed to the steep prices of the games at the App Store: usually around $10. I understand that iPhone App games are better than those on other crappy little phones, but the environment is still the same: you are playing them on the go when your PC and other game devices aren’t around. So spending $10 is still tough.

So I’ll keep developing Web-based iPhone Games, I think. Though I may try my hand at an App too. And no, I won’t be pricing it at $10.
