I believe Fred Beecher has cut straight to the heart of why the iPhone has changed the way that mobile computing and touch interface will be designed in the future.
He mentions not only game theory, but learnability and the use of fun to help users become familiar with an interface.
While he disagrees with those that say that the iPhone is easy to learn, he shows why it still is a game changer due to the fact that people just plain enjoy using it and will overlook the confusing messages due to the fact that the applications are convergent as well as inspiring.
