Will BlitzMax run on iPhone? :O)

My wife and I both watched the full iPhone keynot speech last night. It is a pretty interesting device and certainly does seem to make existing devices look like something from the 80's. I do also notice though the absence of certain features which I am sure they are holding back for the sole purpose of knowing that, in future, they will come out with an upgraded superceding product that will then sell more units. The camera, although 2 mpixels, should've been a realtime firewire-like video camera able to record `full-screen` live footage, so that the phone has VIDEO conferencing like iChat, and I especially thought the voicemail should've been video clips left by callers, not to mention that calling someone on the phone at all shoud've given you a live video feed of that person. Also there was no sign of games which I am sure will be there in future, as well as OpenGL 3D. Also the orientation sensor only handles 2 positions, I really thought it shoud've been 360 degrees in all directions like a spherical compass as this would then allow the whole thing to be used as a virtual-reality device, ie wherever in the environment you point it, you see a 3D representation of what is there, with like maps and labels and language conversion and so on, also with an overlayed live and realtime-image-processed video feed. There's probably also some other features that could've and will in future be in there. That it has osX doesn't really mean a whole lot to the end user if the end user doesn't have a DESKTOP or such tools as graphics programs or slideshow features or a music visualiser or a word processor, and indeed a decent size hard drive. Is 4 and 8 gigs really going to be enough?

So anyway, it's really nice, but I see a definite plan to add more in future so that this model becomes obsolete. They think they can wow people just enough that they'll buy it, then the next time around they'll wow them even more, again just enough, for people to buy again. That's business for ya.
