I think this platform will become substantial for gaming mainly because of the iPod Touch. Tons of kids want one of these, as evidenced by their parents talking about it where I work. They can't talk their parents into an expensive iPhone cell contract, but several parents are giving in and purchasing a touch.

And then once a lot of these kids have a touch as their iPod, the games will naturally follow, especially if they're reasonably priced and not seen as crappy games.

Agreed. Super Monkey Ball will go for $9.99. That's a lot of game for $9.99. I think rather few game titles will go for above that price, based on what we've seen so far from companies that have been announcing games for the App Store.

The App Store will be huge.
