Why you should never trust John Battelles opinion on tech – [PREDICTION POST-MORTEM]
– John Battelle pumped up “-Color”- at inception, and now we have confirmation that it is a lemon.
– John Battelle badmouthed the iPad at inception, and now we know that it is revolutionizing computing.
Dont hold focus groups and ask people what they think.
Wall Street analystss view is too short term.
And that includes Jason Ruspini.
UPDATE:
– Keep in mind that, at inception, Apple also underestimated the iPad numbers. They had to ramp up production, later on.
– See Paul Hewitt’-s comment, below.
2010 -> IBM was granted 5,896 patents. -> Apple was granted 563 patents.
Apple represents the future of computing, while IBM is a paper tiger.
There is a disconnect somewhere.

Why you havent seen nothing yet when it comes to iOS games
When I first got an iPad, I was sold on it being the ultimate piece of science fiction technology for gaming. I think it is the most interesting new technology product I’-ve worked on in years and I really wanted to make games for it.
I don’-t think a lot of people are really thinking yet what games mean on these touch platforms, the joystick is gone, there is no proxy in between you and the screen anymore. When I first saw the photos being rotated and pinch / zoomed on the iPhone, I knew things had changed forever, and people are trying to insert something back in there when clearly the best applications are the ones where the screen is a window onto a world that you can touch. I am not a fan of virtual d-pads, pointers, or other crutches, we have an opportunity on these devices to let players hold, move, touch, and feel the game in front of them and I intend to focus on that.
People who invest in stocks should pile in on AAPL.
