No great revelation here, but reinforcing my belief: The overwhelming interest in the iphone/ipod touch SDK convinces me that we are witnessing the formative stage of a major new computing platform, not just one or two new devices from Apple. I expect that 6 months from now we will see a huge number of 3rd party applications which will popularize these and many new devices which for the lack of an official name I will call the touch platform. Expect to see:

• a touch based pad
• a touch based gaming platform
• possibly a touch based personal video device (video playback, as well as capture and editing??)
• and obviously new generations of the ipod and iphone
