Does this add options to the market? Yes. Is it a game changer? Not even close.
- tewks 17y agoThey are going to sell a lot of these. Game changer.
- runevault 17y agoMaybe I'm crazy but gamechanger requires more than sales. The iPhone was a game changer because it redifined the market and got more people interested in smartphones, changing the entire cell phone industry.
- tewks 17y agoTotally right. Sales aren't the only factor. It can matter for developers targeting users, though again not the only factor. In particular, as a developer, I'm excited about the opportunity to have solid multitouch on a bigger screen. The first example that comes to mind is the fact that numerous games and other apps aren't possible on the iPhone/touch because the screen isn't big enough, such as two-player games on the same screen.
