I have never used an iphone before. I don't understand how it works.

How does one press Left Mouse Button?
How does one press Right Mouse Button?
How does one press Middle Mouse Button?
How does one press some key on the keyboard?
This is a good point, Amiga games in their original state do not translate well to touch screens :(

If the game concept is good it is better rewritten to take advantage of the modern interface :)

If I'm really honest, my enthusiasm for an Amiga emulator on a modern smart phone has dropped to zero... The Amiga and it's software just were not designed with touchscreens in mind...

Wait for the PSP phone then. ;)
Well, I prefer a joystick to a d-pad, but if that's your thing then the PSP phone would be a lot better for some old games... (assuming Sony let you run an emulator on it).

I did a quick audit of all the old Amiga games I still play from time to time... They were all mouse driven, and would need a rewrite to be really effective on a touchscreen :-/

What is installed userbase of iPhone 3gs  + iPhone 4?
Apple were quoting 80million iOS devices last summer... Of which the majority were 3G and 3GS... If someone has access to google I'm sure they could update this for me :)
