The entirety of my post was about usability. There is no technical roadblock to increasing screen size; just swap in a different panel. There is, however, a huge roadblock to doing so while maintaining several key design considerations made with iOS 1.0. Design. Not tech.

If you had actually read my post, you might have understood why the iMac comparison doesn't work. Actually, I take that back: I'm pretty sure you do understand; it's just not convenient for your attempt to be contrarian.
