Actually, that's a good point. Maybe, for a smartphone to become a "real" gaming platform as stated above, it's not game titles we need first, but hardware.

I know there have been Android phones introduced designed for gaming, and I think they flopped pretty hard (I didn't hear much about them for long). But maybe instead of a whole phone, a company could produce and sell a gamepad that plugs into the phone? Then they ("they" being the producer of the gamepad, and any companies that it enables to sell bigger titles) could target the DS/PSP/portable console market.

Interesting thought.....
