Can these devices run iPhone/iPad applications?
Here’s what Always Innovating founder GrĂ©goire Gentil has to say about the subject: “That’s a very tricky question both technically and legally. Technically, there are some mechanisms to do that, nevertheless, it all depends of what Apple will do. When it comes to iPod/iTunes, for example, most people agree the company has effectively locked up their system. Legally, I have not seen anything that would impede it, but I’m not a lawyer. Bottom-line, we will ship at least one best-selling iPhone games with our devices. However, I would discourage you from buying a Touch Book if your primary reason is to run a specific iPhone or iPad application. We cannot guarantee the position of all actors on this subject. We are not interested in picking a fight against a company we all respect.
