Here's an interesting thought. This app is so good it could influence Apple hardware.
While I agree this is a killer app for the iOS platform, it doesn't yet have the polish that Jobs would demand for a live demo. A good deal of that is the hardware contraints of the system.
I think if you had invented a dedicated device that did nothing but this app it would sell like hotcakes, and we've heard in this forum that people are considering buying iPod touches just to give them out this app to family.
Thus if you wanted to move the needle from 'wow' to 'insanely great' it would take hardware level engineering to optimize the device, which I don't think it outside the realm of possibility.
Remember it was killer apps like quake, unreal, and crisis that moved the graphics card industry for years. This app has the potential for even broader appeal, and its successors will require even more horsepower.
