    some things are so crazy weird, I don't know what to say. This is supposedly a tv commercial for Samsung's LEDs. Make of it what you want, I'm tagging it under Pong - just in case.  Update: I just checked - it's from March last year and has a gazillion views - so excuse me (again) for attaching something lame to the forums. :/

 more quotes, thanks to Christian Nutt's tweet:  Milling about the room after Apple’s presentation Wednesday was Mark Rein (pictured), vice president of Unreal Engine maker Epic Games. He said his company would seek to bring “the big-boy console gaming experience” to iPad, which he gushed over after getting some demo time. Read More at Wired http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/01/apple-ipad-gaming/#ixzz0drUTFGNL

The ever eloquent and witty Christian Nutt has an article up on Gamasutra   Analysis: The iPad - Good For Gaming? Jobs calls iPad "a truly magical and revolutionary product." The realists, or the cynical, call it an overgrown iPod Touch. Whatever it is, the audience -- its size and its makeup -- will be integral to its appeal as a game platform. The capabilities are obviously there, and with such a ...

@Magresda: fair, what you say.  But that was not the impression Steve Jobs was giving to the press in the room, nor the consumers outside that room.   "... the iPad is the most advanced piece of technology" - not once, not twice, but many times said, during the presentation. They did not show Bejeweled PopCap or Zynga games, but 3D-Engine graphics games.   They deceit deliberately? Why?  Because they are so full of themselves and raise peoples ...

here's a "quote" on the game-specific announcements     Apple had key partners present a few games for the Apple iPad Tablet.  Electronic Arts demonstrated Need for Speed: Shift for the iPad, which is still in development.  The game, while shown briefly, looks good, if a little standard.  Their presentation of the game was notable for its brevity; we're hoping for further details about Need for Speed: Shift on the iPad later today.  Apple's ...

@fwylo: sorry ...   iPad ... iSad as a thread title was not really comprehensible?. What is it about?Talking about the event during the event would suit a chat rather then a threadI am interested - now that the facts are out and the specs and Apple Website is up - see links - to discuss what I put in the thread title: iPad as a specific videogame platform.Of course, if the ...

 The "Special Apple Announcement" just finished. Here are the specs fo the new device   http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/ and here is what it looks like  http://www.apple.com/ipad/design/   They presented two games especially developed for the iPad, both from Electronic Arts - a racing game and major league baseball   What do you know about it? What do you think? How long will the batteries last, playing a 3D-engine video game in high res? longer than 30 minutes?

"work hard, be kind and amazing things will happen?" - I am a cynic, I guess, because I don't believe it. Still a great, graceful speech and a great show with a perfect ending.   Having Neil Young would have been enough for me. I feared what Will Ferrell would pull but Will did also the best thing - playing his insane parody straight. Freebird with some not very well hidden star ...

When they stream their rides on ustream, us Duders are using the ustream chat on that site (sometimes even without the live-stream) - many of the chat discussions are hilarious (not this one), Unfortunately - the chat cannot be saved easily.   I still I had a copy of a couple minutes on my desktop and instead deleting this, I decided to make it a blog post. that's all.    If ...

Sorry Duders, the post javascript/html was messed up. I hope it makes more sense now. Still not the most exciting thread ever.
