IPAD 2 Is Now and After November the Best Portable By Far.

[QUOTE="LegatoSkyheart"]

dude if I wanted to waste $500 on something awesome I'd waste it on that nice Laptop that Adrian just showed, What IS that?

LegatoSkyheart

There are options without tablet screen that go below 1000 though.

Oh wow, That actually sounds like something I need in the future. too much money though. :(

[QUOTE="RyanShazam"]

I bought my Ipad for computer like access not games.

3DS IS for games!

Slimmin360

The 3DS? No, not yet. You cannot compare to a new piece of gaming hardware to a device that runs mostly off freeware. Give the 3DS some time.

I would rather just keep playing my good ole DS

, there are over 65,000 apps on the app store for IPOD, IPHONE and IPAD so what developer doesn't want a piece of that. Slimmin360

3DS's strenght will be in japanese devs and I don't see most of them bothering with appstore.

the 3DS? yes.

the NGP? no.

Well look i don't want to turn this into yet another MAC vs PC debate because it's not, it's an IPAD 2 vs 3DS and NGP debate, and since the hardware of the IPAD 2 beats 3DS and NGP, with IPAD 2 offering a much larger screen on top of it's gyroscopic and touch controls, i just think dev's will be making games for IPAD 2 every bit as much as they do for 3DS and NGP if not more. Since the app store is a much more busier mass market place for sales than retail stores are, there are over 65,000 apps on the app store for IPOD, IPHONE and IPAD so what developer doesn't want a piece of that. Not to mention with most games on the app store costing $9.99 and less, thats where the bargain hunters are going to go for games, whether it's for there IPOD, IPHONE or IPAD, paying $29.99 to $39.99 for a new 3DS or NGP game just no longer makes any sense.Slimmin360

Well this is system wars and this topic is just EVERYWHERE.

From 3DS to Laptops.

heck those Apps I could compare it to the New PSPhone if I wanted by the time that thing launches you will have access to Hundreds of Games!

Its too bad it doesn't play games that well. But it is a pretty novel, and fashionable, electronic device.

My crappy laptop >>>> Ipad 2 :P

i do commend the tc for sticking around with this thread, most times i see tc's stick around a thread for a page or a page and a half at most, but this guys stickign around for more then that, and because of that hes either a. a proffesional, or b. he genuinely believes what hes saying, if its the latter, im so so sorry tc :P...if its the former, well then hes definately realing in the fish tonight

I didn't even know that the ipad was considered a portable tbh. It can't really fit in your pocket unless you are wearing Jnco jeans, and it's not much smaller than netbooks or smaller notebooks, so if we're counting those then it's not even close.

Oh really IPAD or IPHONE games are mostly short, cheap games ? I have an IPAD game called Aralon: Sword and Shadow, it's a western RPG style game and the main quest by itself without the hundreds of side quests is 30 hours long.

So much for your theory, oh, and it's not the only one, the Dungeon Hunter games can be 20 plus hours as well, and since the largest capacity IPAD 2 has a 64GB hard drive, well that just means they could make games 2 to 4gb's big and they would run just fine.

So try thinking of another con for the IPAD 2 because that theory of yours bombed.

Once again, you've just proved normal devs don't have much to look forward to in Appstore.
Appstore has been a huge success for over two years already and yet majority of handheld-centric devs avoid it. So I wonder why do you assume it will change in the future?

Untill you learn to pay 20 dollars and more for quality mobile software nothing will change and anything new with real depth will be a rare occurence on Appstore.

[QUOTE="Slimmin360"]

[QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]Plenty of devs don't want a piece of that. Precisely because users like you expect to pay max 9 dollars for the game (and plenty of appstore users complain heavily even about that price). You can't make anything but short cheap games for that price. Which is why the few deeper and longer games in appstore are mostly ports from other platforms, not something made for iPad itself.

2 out of 15,000+ actually.

Too expensive for my tastes for just portable gaming, but it sure looks like a nice bonus. I really want to try Labyrinth HD one of these days if I ever get an iPad. Do you have that one?

This sums up my opinion on the matter quite well.

What it's like to own an apple product.

Any tablet with Windows 7 is superior, since i can run all my programs on it

I can buy a decent gaming PC for the price of an ipad. Besides better graphics, what does the ipod have that the DS doesn't? A large library of genres to choose from that are full lenght and will provide hundreds of hours of gaming fun?

It's portable?

[QUOTE="Slimmin360"][QUOTE="LegatoSkyheart"]

You're telling me you spent $700- $900 on an iPod Touch JUMBO XL???

:lol:

LegatoSkyheart

Ooooo superior in Hardware for what?

Internet?

Laptop and Desktops > iPad 2

Games?

Laptop and Desktops > iPad 2 or heck anything PS3, 360, or Wii > iPad 2

Music?

Laptop and Desktops

Apps?

really?

Movies?

Laptop??

Seriously Why get an iPad 2???

Relax man. For its size and functionality, it's an excellent device. It's more portable than a laptop, and it's not as crammed as a smart phone... obviously that's what it's going for. It's not trying to replace other types of PC products.

I really don't see the point in talking down on others for purchasing/enjoying an ipad.

I've had my IPAD 2 just over a week and bought over 30 games for it thus far, such as Infinity Blade, Dungeon Hunter 1 & 2, Hero of Sparta 1 & 2, Real Racing 2, NOVA 1 & 2 and many more phenomenal titles, there are some with graphics that are average, then are those with such graphics that it seems as if your holding a portable 360 or PS3 in your hands.

I love the touch screen and gyroscopic controls, and there completely changeable and adjustable in almost every title, and no matter which game i was playing it has yet to freeze or crash on me, it is phenomenal, and it's already made me regret wasting my money all these years on consoles and other portables....i love my IPAD 2.

I don't recall EVER seeing people lined up for over a month in a row outside retail stores like Target, Best Buy, and Wal-Mart, for Laptops, or any other Tablet for that matter, but here we are nearly a month later, and the mere whisper that any of those stores or the Apple stores are getting in some IPAD 2's and people are lined up hours before opening to try and get there hands on one. Umm nope don't recall any PC device like a computer, tablet or otherwise getting that kind of attention...

On laptop reliability issue, ASUS, Toshiba and Sony says hi. http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2009/11/laptop-reliability-study-asus-and-toshiba-come-out-on-top/

My Dell laptop can run unmodified MacOS X 10.6+MS Office 2011 Mac(via my MS Technet sub), I don't see any GUI advantage over Windows 7.

PS; I have purchased retail MacOS X 10.6.

Poor guy!

All i know is i have an IPad and i would never buy one to game on. Ive had mine for quite sometime and i havent even considered purchasing a game for it.

should have waited til october...rumor is that IPAD 3 is hitting then...hahahaha, no joke

[QUOTE="VanDammFan"]

Would never pay full price for half of a laptop...sorry...laptops are far and away better than any IPAD..

Ipad and iphone=source of a mobile crash they are releasing these things quicker and quicker your pretty much outdated as soon as they are released and its not maintainable its gonna lead to a crash.

Well alot of people still need to use productivity software on the go so laptops will be around for a long time. I do believe that tablets have made netbooks pretty useless.incuensuocha

Only if they play on marketing hype well enough.

I you can carry an IPad you can carry a Laptop so that alone kills your argument.

Doesnt any Windows 7 tablet have a library of a million older PC games, some of the best of all time like Baldur Gate, Heroes 3, Diablo 1-2, adventures etc ?

is that why iPad is selling like utter crap compared to Laptops?AdrianWerner

It might be pretty bold suggestion, but if you want it to make sense you propably should consider reading the post this sentence was reply to.

Question:

What is the friggin difference between the iPAD2 and.... everything else. Its bigger, it has a bigger screen, and it has stronger hardware, but I can play all the same games on my iPod touch right?
