That's the wrong question. The question is not, "Will you be able to make money on the iPad?", it's "Will anyone ever make a couple hundred million per year (like Zynga has on Facebook) on the iPad?" In that sense, Facebook is the clear winner.
- hugh3 16y agoHas Zynga really made a couple of hundred million a year? Have they even been going for a year? I don't see any reason why nobody could make a couple of hundred million a year on iPod/iPad/iPhone apps, especially as the huge existing installed base of iPods (over 260 million sold) will probably eventually churn into app-capable devices like the current iPod Touch.

- mattmaroon 16y agoIt's not just the black swans either, it's the averages. You're a 1 in 100,000 success on the iPhone if you make a million bucks total. You're not even a 1 in 100,000 success on Facebook if you make that much per month.
