A new platform to develop for?
With $30 million dollars of sales since it's birth a month ago, the iPhone software platform looks like it's off to a great start. Gaming seems to be at the forefront - here is the president of Sega's US division whose Super Monkey ball has sold over 300,000 copies- `"That's a substantial business. It gives iPhone a justifiable claim to being a viable gaming platform."
With those rounded iphone icons on a large rectangular screen I can't help but see this as a kind of Palm for the new generation. They (Palm) must be losing developers by the truck load at the moment. This is all evolving at a fast pace and perhaps we might see Apple buy Palm, it is well known Apple wanted to do this a while ago but now it might make even more sense and be the only chance for Palm to survive.
What do you think ?
