[casual_games] iPhone therefore iGame?

I find it a very strange decision from Apple if this is true.

Why not create a new ecosystem of iPhone software buyers and developers?

With OSX, 320 x 480 color display, WiFi, and the Apple brand, Palm + Windows 
Mobile + Symbian wouldn't stand a chance and developers would flock to the 
system creating tons of interesting applications/games.

If iPhone becomes for smartphones as ipod has become for mp3 players, then I 
think the software/games potential for the platform is extremely big.

(My first post here by the way, hi everyone.)

Games ... and any number of other exciting application frontiers this
technology might offer.
