Mark Lautenschlager

The cell phone jumps two positions as we move from the Best of the Best list to the Best of the Rest list. What makes the cell phone such a great value as a Portable Gaming System is price. Not to say cell phones cost less than handheld game consoles, but it is a virtual certainty that you have already purchased one. As was previously noted, virtually every modern cell phone has support for Java or BREW, the two most common software platforms for running programs like mobile games.
