Never mind fully modelled cockpits and reflections, what I want from racing games on the iPad 2 is 60fps. Can someone confirm whether RR has this when they get their iPad 2 later today?
Nice way to deal with fragmentation; one DL for both the iPad 1 and 2*.

Physical buttons...
Not to mention the PSP2 has a quad core processor and apparently quite a beast of a GPU.
"The-type-that-will-make-the-iPad2-crap-its-pants" kind of specs. And for less money.
....Next holiday season.

Yeah, next year you can be sure apple will have an OLED screen on the iPad 3 and 1GB of ram as well as quad core cortex a9 CPU and GPU. Sure, that's a given knowing apple.
What?
I was just referencing that oohing and awing over quadcore processors and gpus this far out is a bit silly. The product pipelines for that technology have been in place for quite some time now. Right now the current tech is dual core, the next revision is quad which was slated in many mobile cpu roadmaps for the holiday season anyway.
I don't see the NGP (PSP2) as pushing the boundaries of specs, just merely being the first thing planned out of the gate when those chips get into production.
Comparing the specs of it to this current ipad(2) is literally comparing two different generations of tech.
Nobody even knows if the A5 is a dual core A8 (thus being behind technology) or A9 chip. But even so, the NGP will be THE gaming portable handheld console. The iPad doesn't come close. Core gamers have always wanted buttons for a full on experience and the iPad will probably never have that.

BTW, the NGP looks to be realeasing November this year in Europe. So are you still arguing technology isn't ready for quad core chips?

I think theres basically room for everyone in portable gaming. Though that industry is definitely heading for a huge paradigm shift.
I hope sony has enough developers interested in the PSP2, it seems this go around of "next gen" portable gaming has seen a very weak push to develop for.
What??
Where the h6ell did I ever argue that? I've been saying that quadcore has been slated for production at that time anyway. So its not like they revolutionized anything here, they're just getting one of the first products out after the revision to quadcore. Comparing the NGP's slated specs to the ipad2 specs is literally comparing two different generations.
Here is Nvidias roadmap for the quadcore version of the Tegra. Production in August for delivery in the fall. Now, Sony will probably be using its own chips for the NGP, but the industry is pretty much in lockstep roadmap wise so this is pretty much what we should expect from all the big guys.

There is no such thing as a dual core A8. It doesn't exist.
And benchmarks show it performing the same as the A9 tablets.

You were implying quad core is 1 year ahead tech, and that's not the case if Sony can release a product within this year. Which has quad core CPU and GPU. By the way, after looking through ARM's website, it states the A9 chip was released In 2009, theres no reason why in 2011 companies can't be utilising the quad core form, the reason being companies don't want to push for something that would increase costs. But the technology is certainly there. Hence the NGP releasing with this tech THIS year.
Iff apple brings out a PS3 style controller that plugs into the dock port The iPad would become the ultimate portable gaming device
Hoe do dey do dat??? The iOS can really do dem graphics!!
If something like this ram on my MBP it would heat it up like a toaster oven and I'd have to stay on the chargers or die.
One download for all current iOS models, including iPhone4, iPhone 3Gs, and iPod Touch. Brilliant. One download, one price. Just like Predators. Which, is awesome.Nice way to deal with fragmentation; one DL for both the iPad 1 and 2*.

Which means that if you've got a 3GS, you're forced into downloading and taking up space with textures etc. that your phone can't use - hardly brilliant.
