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.
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.
Dont hold focus groups and ask people what they think.
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.
