i don't think any of the games are that fun. the emulators are just to play games i have played hundreds of times. i want NEW games. FUN games. enhanced graphics games. i am sorry, i am new, i am not a developer. i find the applications to be excellent...but the games on android are a joke. why? and why can't i save apps to my SD card on the droid? i am trying to learn, i have emailed several developers. even offered to PAY for a cool tower defense game to be developed! can someone please explain to me why the android is lacking in polished games?
I don't think it was Gameloft that said they'd be developing high end Android games. Gameloft said a week or so ago that they were going to shift away from Android. Frankly, I think they're just whining about not making enough money. They said Android was too hard because of the more fragmented ecosystem. But if you look at their apps, they don't seem to work well on anything. Every other review complains about force closes. They're just sore that an iPhone port won't work flawlessly with no effort.The Games : (Personal Observation) - I think we will start seeing higher quality/better graphics on games next year. Keep in mind that until this fall, there where not many Android phones. Why develop a killer game for a fraction of the user base? It would make more sense for devs (at the time), to migrate toward Iphone with a large installed user base. I know 1 company (gameloft I think) has stated that they will start developing "higher end games" for the Droid and other newer Android phones with faster processors. With the amount of handsets coming out with Android, developers will no longer be able to ignore the platform...
Saving Apps to SD : This is not a problem with the Droid, but with the Android operating system. Currently, the only way to do this on Android is by rooting your phone (the Droid still hasn't been rooted yet afaik). That said, I think I read somewhere that Google is working on making this happen (apps to SD) in a future update...I hope so anyway. I still have 205 MB free though, so it's not an issue as of yet (and I feel I have quite a few apps installed.)

If they've now said they will develop high end apps, I'd be interested in their reasoning. Seems like such a turnaround.
Also, to the original question: Space Physics rocks.
