I actually think that its gaming that will decide the true cross-over success of the Android platform. It already covers and excels at the basics, but I'm guessing that Google's past behaviour, means that their recent employment of a games guru, means that they want a slice of the gaming market.
Already the Desire and others, have a 1Ghz CPU, and when that is compared to the 200Mhz Dreamcast, and the 300Mhz PS2, apart from the lack of RAM, there certainly are possibilities. A better mobile comparison is the 333Mhz PSP.
Google are said to be working on a solution to the games-accessible system memory. At the moment its puny. Whats going to shake things up even more, is the realisation that games that challenge the PSP will require heavy memory resources. Ladeez an genellmen, boiz an squirls, I give you ExZues Arcade [FPS]. It requires at least 57MB and is only downloadable via Wi-Fi. The die has been cast.
Its might be worth remembering that Soul Calibre debuted on the Dreamcast. Its just a matter of memory, and cross-platform progamming.....and 32GB memory cards. ;)
