Not practical but it looks pretty cool.

That's really, really cool.  This isn't available yet, is it?

There's an impressive 3D engine called "Yeti" (or after this, should I say, "was impressive") that has a FPS and 3D Pac-Man style game available on the iTouch now.  The game is too hard to control though, since you have to use your fingers to move around.  Just doesn't work...this seems like a much better alternative.

it has a 600 mHz cpu, 128mb ram and some powervr variant gpu. it's slightly more powerful than a psp.

Makes me wish Sony would release a PSP that's iPod Touch size and memory-stick loading only.

Why did Apple put such a powerful GPU in the iPOD?  Does Apple even have any 3d apps for it?

the interface does a number of 3d tricks, including multitexturing effects

can the wii even run quake 3? heck, can it even run quake 2
