But it would only be a little section of the piano, like when you click musical typing in GarageBand , you could click high or low.

This is an awesome idea. How about it, programmers?

there isn't enough space on the screen for a piano.....logically speaking. Think about it.

wouldn't you just be able to play one key at a time, due to the touchscreen's limitations?

I know that the iPhone can handle two different parts of the screen being touched at the same time (i.e. pinching, unpinching), so I think it could handle at most 2 keys at the same time.

By the way, this is why I think the NES emulator will never be what we want it to be. Eventually it will let us push two buttons at the same time, but never three. So in Mario, you could never go right while running while shooting fire balls, which would require you to push RIGHT + B + A. I could be wrong about this though...
