iPod touch Games
Considering the iPod touch's (and iPhone's) multitouch functions and Apple's new cozy relationship with EA, is anyone else surprised that more robust games (or any games, for that matter) haven't been developed? Do you think that developers will be given the chance to turn the iPhone/iTouch into proper portable gaming devices?
At the very least I'd expect something in the vein of Lumines (PSP) or Elite Beat Agents (DS), that is to say music-based games that use the touchscreen for something more than Bejeweled and Sudoku (no offense to those games... but come on). Now the iPhone/iTouch aren't exactly PSPs or DSs, but they have enough muscle for more complex games.
What games (or types of games) would everyone like to see on Apple's platforms?

Mysterious response, care to elaborate?
the rumor has it things are already progressing along with EA porting games to the iPod touch and iPhone
Looks like I might have had a crystal ball after all?

The iPhone/iPod touch's aren't powerhouses, but they're the first platform with just enough juice and an innovative enough interface to really become a fun portable gaming platform. Multitouch is just begging for a Wario Ware style minigame anthology. If iPod wants to really pull ahead of competitors with the touch, good games (and a 32GB drive) would leave competitors (even further) in the dust.
