Punctuate correctly. Remove your email address.
Touche... anyways expect more iphone apps, expect to be swarmed with them now that the nda is out the window, stop reading this and start developing something, its the cool new sandbox. No saturation point in sight. From a discovery and find point of view, saturation point for that long since pasted. But there is gold gravy on the iphone, and all future mobile platforms that follow.
People asked the same things about the Facebook platform 3 months out.

Here's the reality: The apps that made the most money in the long run did not launch in the beginning of the platform. Those who launched in the beginning did not gain any leverage by which their other apps grew. The biggest apps on Facebook are not those who launched early on (with a few VC backed exceptions).

My point: the best is yet to come.
