That's awesome.

My problem with it is that it isn't in any way "innovative". The iPhone had touch and an easy to navigate system, something which phone companies had failed at for years. The iPod had an easy way to search through music. The iPad doesn't really seem like it will do anything. At all.

This is all speculation, of course: maybe it will be the greatest thing that ever happened to man.

You can open doors and lock on many aliens at one time.
Stop mid game, select bad guys, fire, back to game :)

All in one Apple allowed application running at one time :)

I like to see an A1 port to the iPad

I think iPad is a bad marketing name though namely because of this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eF0y0IfpPU

That pic is the dumb (there are better iPad jokes, if you must)

Also, the iPad plays Doom. Where's Marathon for it?

FSF's interpretation is that the iTunes Store TOS are incompatible with the GPL: http://www.fsf.org/news/2010-05-app-store-compliance/

If there is a Marathon written for iPad, it's gonna have to come from Bungie, or be written from scratch. No Aleph One.

Reading that article makes me disappointed in Apple for having that kind of attitude towards software and its developers, and that they do that to consumers.

Really, you should be disappointed in FSF. They smell bad.

Typical obstructionism from Treellama. If that's really the case, then why isn't there Marathon for Android, ASS-HOLE?
