This is a poor analogy, Liam

The iPad is limited to only doing everything the iPod / iPhone already does.
Actually, it does less, as it has no camera.

So it's true, the iPad is a bigger iPod touch. Do some homework and you will see.

Mac Book Pro is 1000 times what a netbook is - iPad is nothing more than the iPod is (except larger).

Saying the iPad is just a big iPod Touch is like saying a 17" MBP is just a big netbook.

And yet many of us feel the iPad _should_ be covered here.

It will run most (what, 99%?) of the same games, so why not give it coverage..?

No flash is just one thing wrong with this device. I also wish it had USB ports so I could hook in an external DVD/CD drive so I can watch movies or rip songs into itunes or sync my iphone to it.

I would have personally liked to have used the iPad to download/manage/sync with my iphone. But thats why I have a laptop instead, so no need for the iPad.

This product fails, for me, on so many levels.

And now the hulu argument might be falling, too.

i thought toucharcade was about iphone and ipod touch games only? I have no real interest in getting the ipad and I'm pretty sure many other iphone/touch owners don't either.

What a joke.
iPad only?

That things not even out yet and you are supporting it exclusively???

How about the iPod and iPhone crowd???

We have been here all along supporting you!

And if you think you are going to make any money going ONLY that route.....well, time will teach.

Why do you care so much what other people think?

Be a man and do what you want.

So your idea of good Flash usage is the ability to play some games (which aren't exactly lacking on the iDevice) and watching vids on sites like Hulu... and we all know how difficult it is to watch videos on an iPod!

See what I mean? If lack of Flash is someone's biggest complaint, it's not much of a complaint.

ummm..... the iPhone doesnt have flash either and its the biggest thing ever. And also i bet most of you play your iphone/touch games at home most of the time anyway.

I predict this will get ported to iTouch/iPhone fairly quickly, I mean, if Apple pull their shit together maybe within a year they will sell 3-5 million iPads at best. With 40+ million iphones sold on the market, it simply makes no sound business sense to make this game iPad exclusive.

I have a feeling this "exclusivity" announcement was just made to generate more publicity than anything else. Seems to be working so far.
