Another reason it wont take off as a gaming device is trading. Gamers like to trade in, sell, games that they are done with. On the iphone you are stuck with it.
That's just plain silly! The iPhone games are great for time-killers and such but certainly not for serious gaming
But most people aren't serious gamers as casual gamers outnumber them by a lot so I don't know why people are saying this can't happen.
Don't really need to worry about the trade in market when games are only $9.99.
In that case there is no chance. They need games that are lengthy, original and interesting, such games wont coast 9.99.

Most people who buy game devices are not serious gamers. Therefore a device designed so that it can't be used by serious gamers could still wipe out a majority of the dedicated game device market, probably taking with it a good share of the software market for those devices as well.
