p.s. have you heard of simtrans? . it is avilable for the iphone .. it has pretty good graphics.
Cheers to All,

No, 32GB
FLASH storage. Memory and Storage are 2 different things. I think you will find that it has 256mb of memory. The other problem is the processor is likely to be an ARM variant running at 600mhz (differnet instruction set, the ARM uses RISC which if you incorperate an x86 - desktop CPU instruction set, it will not like it!) and the graphics chip? Forget it!
Trainz doesn't care too much about the processor, it can get away with a pretty poor processor (I ran TRS2006 on a 600mhz and an ATI 9700 card with little noticable lag. I noticed the problem when I found I forgot to change a setting in the BIOS, preventing the CPU from running at full speed.), but it needs a really good graphics card. Bad graphics card and decent processor = lag, good graphics card and poor CPU = goes well. Good graphics card and good GPU = top performance.
If you want a Trainz fix, install anything lower than TC3 onto a Netbook and carry that.
EDIT: I forgot to say, Auran don't have a lot of money, would it be viable? Well, probably not. Who would cough up £20 ($1.68 to the pound approx x 20 = USD$33.60 there abouts) to pay for a licence to run it? Don't say illegal downloading, that is one thing Auran do not want. Create a realistic estimate for each country (I would go by popluation but a bit more in depth than that), then consider that its around 20% loss on overal figures (estimate the figures, then take 20% off of that) for developed countries, then take 60-80% off those estimated for developing/undeveloped countries for just illegal downloading and distribution. I know this as I had to be given a lecture in it at University!
EDIT2: I am not accusing you of anything, but I expect that someone who is making a suggestion, when it comes to payment of what they consider an "unreasonable/reasonable amount", well, thats a different matter. I don't charge anyone for the use of my assets as the issue with money is far more sticky, than a lorry (truck) full of syrip with a great big hole in the side, leaking onto the street.
