My problem with this thread is that th OP states why it will be so easy to transition people who bought Iphone/Itouch to buying games. I want to know how Apple is planning on selling the device to the casuals he references.
I was in the home of an older (50s) couple in our neighborhood recently. They had a DS on their table. Wondering if it was their's or a grandchild's I asked who it belonged to. "It's mine, his is in the bedroom." !! They then proceeded to try to sell me on the idea of buying my own. (I still don't have one!)
These are the types of people that need the simplest and cheapest cell phone available, whose MP3 players (if they have one at all) were loaded by their children, and they need their handhelds pop in and play.
