Not that we normally feature Apple products because we’re Windows people here, but a good friend of us bought one yesterday gave us a chance to test it out. From the looks of it we can tell you that the device itself feels and look great. It is incredibly thin, which we like, but don’t let the iPad fool you because it is certainly not a fully functional computer. The iPad is a device that Many people thought would replace laptops, but that is far from the truth because there are a lot of things missing.

Among one of the things missing is a USB hub, which can be a pain if you want to put data in it so that can be a annoying as you will have to use iTunes every time you put content on it. Some people like iTunes, but I don’t and that is the only tool that you use to put stuff, which means DRM headaches. Space is another issue because your options are 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB, and that is too little space being that it’s very limited and we understand that Apple’s approach with the iPad is cloud computing, which is a terrible idea because your internet could be broken for days in your city and if you can’t access those essential files then you are at a disadvantage.

The price is another thing because the device really doesn’t do much and sure yes it comes with Netflix, which means you get to watch your instant queue, but that is not enough because 16GB can be filled in a few days and the price for the 16GB ipad is $500 bucks, so let’s say you buy a few games, songs, videos well that  means that after a while you have no disk space.

Because the Apple iPad didn’t impress us at all and certainly does not replace a laptop, we can’t recommend to everybody. However if you are the type of person that just checks your email and would like to read a couple of blogs and play a few simple games then this is the perfect product for you, but it will not replace your laptop and because of this we give it a 7 out of 10.

Well it is no doubt that the iPhone is becoming a popular gaming platform and Apple is taking a bite of the gaming industry with it, the ipod and the ipad, but what does this mean to us gamers? well it means a lot of touch screen games and also lot’s of games because the iPhone is a popular device. The new iPhone looks promising because it doesn’t have that roundness that it’s predecessor had and also has that sexy candy bar look to it, which is interesting. Another cool thing is that this phone will probably work on a 4G network which means the connection is likely to be faster. Head on over to Gizmodo to check out a better view of this awesome new information.

A classic game has made it to the Apple App store, yes we are talking about Tony Hawk: Pro Skater 2, which came out about 10 years ago. The price being at $9.99 is a bit high being that the game is so 2000 now, but hey it’s one that were sure you will enjoy especially playing in a touch screen environment. Take a look at the loading and startup on an iphone.

Not that we have an or use iPhones or iPods, but this game looks fun and that game is Star Wars Trench. An iPhone game which sort of reminds me of that cool game we all used play Asteroid, but with better graphics. Take a look at the video below as this video will not disappoint.

The much anticipated game for the iPhone has finally been released and that is GTA Chinatown Wars. If you didn’t play it before because of not having a Nintendo DS or a PSP well this is your chance to get it. Rockstar Leeds the same division of Rockstar Games that created Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories has finally ported this cool game to your portable iphone and ipod touch. You will need about 188 megabites to run this sucker, but were sure you can delete some of that porn that you have on that phone.

Take a look at the video below of someone booting up Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Get a brief history on nerds and geeks and learn of how they have revolutionized the world by bringing in technology that we all use today. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and many more got their start somehow and this documentary explains how they did it all. What I like the most is that you see the history part and although the video looks like it is old, new younger people can learn from it.
