The watch most definitely does not fill this niche as most parents bought the iPod touch partly (mostly?) for its gaming abilities.

It should be noted that Paul Pedriana, the original developer of EASTL and many other things, just recently passed away unexpectedly. He was an EA programming legend.

Sorry, I meant that the pricing were for the entry-level configuration, not cherry-picked top configurations.

To give people a bit of perspective, the Macintosh IIfx was released in 1990 for US$8,969 which in inflation-adjusted dollars is ~$17,500 today. The PowerMacintosh 8100 released in 1994 for ~$4,250 which in today's prices is ~$7,300. The original 128kb Macintosh would be ~$6,100 in today's dollars. Those are all the bottom-end models. By contrast, a Chevy S-10 pickup truck was about $7,000 in 1990 (if my googling was accurate).
