What I want to know is when I'm going to be able to play Half Life and Age of Empires on my iPad.

Picked up an iPad, having a lot of fun so far!

Eternal Blade is now out, on the Unreal Engine, with unique touch screen controls.
Looks hot, hot, hot.

Can anyone recommend me the best weather app and stock market app?

I find it strange they didn't bother making iPad versions of the iPhone/iPod Touch ones.

Update for djay jsut came thru, hoping it sorts a few little probs!

Nope, again to trance 808 long intro beats and it still wont sync them.

Anyone got SimCity yet?

Glad I didn't buy it last night when it was £3.99. It's only 59p today. I'm bagging that when I get home. Getting good reviews so far from what I can find.

I see Real Racing 2 has come out for iPhone. Does anyone know its release date for the HD iPad version?

iamtheoneneo · 17 Dec 2010 at 10:01

scrabble is awesome....mega addictive. thats going to be the perfect game for the plane journeys and only 59p!

The Empire magazine app for ipad is out now - def the best 'digital' version of a magazine. Uses the touch screen well and also has embedded trailers in the reviews.

Just got my iPad yesterday

Is there an app which will let me stream my music from my windows pc?

I'm using air video for streaming my movies which works very well anything around which works the same for my tunes?

It's not like air video but Splashtop can do this.

Though it displays your computer (like teamviewer etc) So you would have to go and find the files like you would if you were on the computer.

Not heard of anything which can do audio.. for some reason

Ok I'll have a look thanks.

I only could afford the 16gb iPad and I don't want to fill it with tunes which I'll only listen to when I'm in another room.

Zumocast does both music and videos brilliantly

Looks good, I'll try it out later

No download for Zumocast available at the moment.

World of Goo is out on the iPad. £5.99, worth it in my opinion if it's the full version.
