It plays SNES games. Try that on your iPhone.
But in all seriousness, this is definitely one of the strong points of the Q, and it’s operating system (Windows Mobile 5 for Smartphones), 3rd party apps are not only supported, but encouraged by the architecture. I mean, why play java-based cell phone games when you can run a SNES off your smartphone?
That’s where PocketSNES comes in, I don’t think just any version will do, it has to be optimized for the Q, which has problems with some standard-compatible WM5 apps. It runs quite a few games (not Final Fantasy 3/6 though 
), mostly at full speed if you disable the sound, which is probably a good idea anyways seeing as how most of the other people in that train car might not quite appreciate the musical stylings of F-Zero, or Zelda: Link’s Awakening. Short set-up guide after the jump.
I changed the settings for comments, they will no longer be put in the moderation queue for being the first comment by a user. Also, I brought over my Rainbow Six: Vegas review from onegameperday and stashed in the articles section, more coming as I track my articles down and reformat them for this site.
