Gaming to push a standard on ubergadgets?

Well, it seems that gaming, what used to and still does to a certain extent drive standards and hardware innovation on the PC platform, is now starting to be a force to standardize the ubergadet. TR reports that gaming on the phone now is much like the early years of consoles, with many different platforms – even for the same manufacturer. There has been a fair amount of talk about using Linux as a common OS, but the bigger issue is the keyboard (and now with the touch screen phones coming, lack there of). Because they are non standard, things get tricky for the developers, especially in the “northamexican” market where it’s still the “wild west” in terms of the number of carriers and handsets.
