Why My Mom’s Next Computer Is Going To Be An iPad

Editor’s note : This is a guest post penned by Ethan Nicholas, developer of the million-dollar iPhone game iShoot and the newly released Kim Rhode’s Outdoor Shooting . Before the iPad was even announced, Nicholas was already conceiving his next game with the tablet device in mind. The Internet is a funny place. After Apple announced its new iPad , I cringed at the hate being directed its way on sites such as Slashdot and Digg. Even the guys at Penny Arcade , whom I normally agree with, said "that iPad presentation had to be the worst thing I've even seen on on the Apple stage" and that Apple had failed to make a case for the device. If you believe them, the iPad is going to be a massive flop. Well, the unwashed masses on the Internet also predicted that the iPod would be a failure. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now.
