As an iPhone / iPod Touch gamer, how old are you?

[OahuSurf]

Out of curiosity, how old is the average iPhone / iPod Touch gamer? I ask this because I was thinking the age, on average, is a bit older than the average console gamer. I figured this is a good way to find out. ;)

[hkiphone]

oh man, i feel old already... :(

[RedStaR]

Wow, more 14 years than I expected

no disrespect
but I don't personally know any 14 year olds I would trust with metal scissors let alone an iphone.

There was a great thread on this some time ago. I know it wouldn't come up in a search as the search can't be on 3 letter words. So I found it for you. It's very interesting and worth a read through:

You'd be surprised. Some of us teens (I myself being 15) aren't just your usual smart ass kid.

Oh Nice, I'll definitely check that out. Hopefully this thread (with a Poll) gives the lazy people a better idea though. :)

14 and under people, do you have rich parents or just spoilt? :P

My 5 year old daughter is getting my wifes old 16gb Touch (1g). She plays with my 2g all the time and I can't wait for her to get her own so I can play mine when I want to!

same thing here, my 10 year old son got my 2g touch when i bought an iphone

Well I noticed my 4 & 5 year old nieces really enjoy miphone (cpywrtn)
They seem to navigate through the device better than most adults, first hand.

But I wouldn't trust them to just take it whenever they want, they don't have enough respect for the device...it's just a thing to them.

Thats why it boggles me because youngsters tend to be pretty careless

At least thats what I thought when I found an itouch in a class room in a school I worked at. It was just sitting on the floor after class let out....we knew who's it was and also knew he didn't want to ask about it because his mom would have spanked that a$$.

No way you get the copyright on that, I've been using that reference for a year now.

I'm sorry you're both wrong. Simpsons owns it.
I really don't care.

Well I got my first one from my grandparents when I was fourteen. My new one took a couple years of savings out of my wallet.

see the thing about this poll is that i think its rele only showing us how old people on touch arcade are rather than how old iphone gamers are. Cuz based on the usual top couple apps (ifart, crash cart...) i think the age of iphone gamers is a lot younger than a lot of u guys think. I mean in the big sceme of things i think that you 25+ers are in the minority rather than leading the poll.

Actually there are some pretty mature kids of that age. My nephew for one. He just turned 15 and got his ipod touch for Christmas. He is more mature than some adults I know. He is a little spoiled, but for the most part a great kid.

I'm 19, but I remember when I was on the internet at the tender age of 11. Used to have to fake the age just to get onto sites... Those were the days. I'm actually surprised how many people over 30 are on the site... Very interesting.
