According to ZDNet, computer giant Apple is working on a very powerful new iPhone that could hit stores later this year. The new phone, currently about as powerful as Sony’s excellent PlayStation Portable, would be more than twice as powerful, capable of rendering graphics – and games – better than anything before it in the portable gaming world.

And unlike the PSP or Nintendo DS, the iPhone allows gamers to download games via Apple’s App Store, which users can access wirelessly or on their computer.
