The iPhone 3G might steal the show with 3G network features, but the 2nd Generation iPod Touch is prepped with a faster processor. Handheld Games Corp, developer of games for the mobile platform, reported to Toucharcade that the performance of the 3D game TouchSports Tennis on iPhone 3G was noticeably different from that on iPod Touch. To run consistently, device-specific optimizations have been added to the 3D game.

Although I own neither device, if I were to pick one up, I'd easily lean toward getting the iPhone, because at least it could pull double duty as my cell phone too. Well, choosing between the iPhone 3G and the second-gen iPod touch just got a little more difficult, because it seems that the latter has a performance edge over the former.
