10:39AM Showing off their FPS Nova. "I can slide the d-pad on the screen..." You can set up your own controls. New gestures for interacting with games. This isn't anything breathtaking just yet -- fairly standard graphics (though nice), nothing new in terms of interaction.
10:37AM "We're exciting about possibilities on this. So we invited some developers two weeks ago to see what they could create. We want to show you what they came up with. First, Gameloft." Mark Hickey from Gameloft is up.
10:36AM "We're going to feature iPad apps front and center for you."
10:36AM "We think it's going to be another gold rush for devs. And of course every iPad comes with the app store on it."
10:36AM "We rewrote all of our apps for this display. the iPhone SDK supports development for this now... and we're releasing it today."
10:35AM "So all of the iPhone apps will run on this. In fact when you buy it, download all the apps you have right onto the iPad. Now if the developer spends some time modifying their app, they can take full advantage of this display."
It's a grey area for me. The whole 'netbook' niche is nice, but my phone is something I can carry on my person, and If I want a desktop experience I'll use either a desktop of laptop. I can't see myself fitting into the iPad niche. But I'm sure there will be LOTS who do.
