PC games on a 4 inch screen?

I don't understand. Companies are writing PC games for mobile phones and MP3 players. Devices that have a 4 inch screen. Touch screen, and so your fingers cover 1/3 of the screen already. Do people really play Doom, Quake, Rage, and any other games originally written for 15", 17", 23" screens, on their phones? What happens when you get to a level that has 15 enemies, gorgeous scenery, and you have to dodge enemy fire. You have to be kidding that people buy into this. A racing game where you move the phone around to change direction, okay, and there is very little else on the screen, and your fingers do not need to touch the screen. But I've seen Quake where you have to touch the screen to move the character. The enemies must be 1 cm tall or less, haha. Not what Quake was originally meant for!
