The frenzied folks over at iFixit have torn down the iPod touch 4 and the big news — or rather small news — is that it only has 256MB of RAM, the same as the iPad and iPhone 3GS, but half what the iPhone 4 has.
Along with the tiny .7mp camera, lack of IPS display, and lack of a 128GB option, this feels like a cost-savings measure by Apple.
An unsubsidized iPhone 4 will run you over $600 or $700. No one would pay that for an iPod touch, so are lower specs worth the lower price?
The almost forgotten Zune HD aside, iPod touch pretty much has its product category to itself. However, as we start seeing 7-inch and smaller “tablets” start to hit the market, the iPod touch begins to compete with them as well. Being relatively cheap is a huge advantage there, probably as much as access to the iTunes App Store is.
What do you think? 256MB a deal-breaker for anyone? Last straw? Or still not an issue at that price?

NFL 2011 for iPhone keeps everything that made NFL 2010 successful, and adds on a small handful of gameplay and visual improvements. The result is a fun football simulator, with a few new minor annoyances, but a very solid enjoyment factor.

As you might have noticed if you've added a few friends in Apple's new Game Center service, the backbone social components are working great. But where, exactly, are all of the games? Developers have actually had access to Apple's service for quite a while now -- it was introduced to them under NDA way back at WWDC. But for some reason, Apple seems to be waiting on approving Game Center-enabled games.
Fortunately, they're coming, probably as soon as Apple can approve them. Touch Arcade forum member
Project-79 has been keeping track of which games have said that they'll be Game Center-enabled. As soon as updates roll out for games like
Field Runners,
Flight Control,
Super Mega Worm and
Angry Birds, you'll be able to jump in and earn achievements with them.
Keep in mind that some of the best games on Game Center are still to come: Gameloft's Dungeon Hunter 2 was leaked via a Game Center screen, and of course we're all waiting to see what Epic Games' Project Sword looks like, ever since it was shown off with full GC functionality at last week's Apple event. There are games coming for Game Center, and they should be here soon.
Update: Apparently
Ms. PAC-MAN is the first game to get updated with Game Center support. You might want to wait, though -- we've heard it's not a very good version.
