In reading the comments to this statement on other sites, people pointed out that this person contributed to Chrono Trigger and FF VII and really only was the main person on Chrono Cross.
In reading the statement itself, I think the person is full of wishful thinking. The lack of Flash support will cause problems for Apple (unless someone relents, NBCU and Time Warner videos will NOT be available on it). Also, cell phones are generally replaced every two years ... at some point, someone (and it could be Apple) will invent a better "mousetrap."
Of course, to some people, Nintendo will need to prove the viability of the 3DS.
