Trillions of dollars ? Are you serious ?

I can think of at least 4 different ways to implement zooming without using pinch to zoom. So this idea that it is worth trillions is bizarre.

I, too, can think of at least 4 different ways to implement zooming that would suck and not sell very well.

You seriously don't think that Samsung's line of smartphones would bring in a trillion dollars' revenue over 20 years, if left unmolested by Apple?
