apple ipad Will the Apple iPad change portable gaming?

Everything in the known universe is pointing toward the release of the much-rumored, much-talked about iPad during Apple’s press event tomorrow morning/afternoon. There’s been chatter of how this revolutionary portable computer will save the newspaper and magazine industries, change the way media is distributed, and give parents to lonely orphans, but oddly, there hasn’t been gaming talk, which is surprising considering the number of iPhone/iPod touch games are available in the App Store. Still, a few gaming journies have confessed that they’ve received invites to the big showcase, which hints that gaming will be a significant part of the iPad experience.

So as the Apple iPad is (hopefully) bring prepped for its world debut, take a look back at this article, penned just last month, which explains why I believe the Apple iPad will forever change the Apple video game experience and possibly threaten the big boys.

Agreed?

    I’ve come across a lot of blogs and they’ve been ranting about iPad. Others still prefer iPhone over this enlarged iPod Touch. There is no camera, does not support Flash and inability to multitask. What do you guys think?

    Honestly, I think it’s too early to call.

    the iPad/iPod touch/iPhone aren’t the only devices that can’t support flash *in the browser* …Android devices have also had a similar problem. Like the iPhone and iPod, I’m sure there will be a YouTube app for getting your video fix.

    I dont mind the lack of camera, because I couldnt imagine hoisting that thing up to take a photo. But a webcam wouldve been nice.

    For a screen that sizes, consumers will expect more power, and the lack of multitasking may be a dealbreaker for some expecting a full Mac experience.
