    Limit on number of apps?

    I think all the apps are gonna be better! My big question I can't find any info on. Will apple limit the number of apps we can have on the ipad like they did with the itouch?

    Plants vs Zombies should be awesome on this thing. I'm also curious to see how Spider performs on the platform :D

    Any game where you don't have to pick up the iPad.

    Monopoly would be fun, as would other board games.
    Tower Defense games could be really fun with bigger maps.
    Colorbind would be amazing (as it already is on the iPhone/iPod).
    Red Alert and Settlers would be so much better.

    I honestly don't think Labyrinth would be fun because balancing the iPad on your hands won't be as easy as it is with an iPhone/iPod. The same goes for Doodle Jump.

    Battle for Wesnoth is coming out for iPad! The epic TBS with 300+ hours of gameplay will really shine at higher resolution, when you get to see a lot more of the map. :D

    not apps that require heavy accelerometer use. but then again it might give your arms a good work out.

    at my computer?
    Battle For Wesnoth (as the developer said) and pretty much any other stratey game. Whether it be RTS or TBS. I can't imagine playing a game like Red Conquest or Warfare Inc.

    It will make TBS games like Reign of Swords amazing. You will be able to see more of the battlefield and it will be easier to come up with better overall strategies.

    EDIT: also FPS games. Just imagine only using the bottom corners for your thumbs... THEY WON'T BE COVERING THE ENTIRE PLAYING AREA!!!. Now they need to find a good control scheme for it.

    I don't think anyone will stand, holding the ipad unsupported in the air while playing games on it. More likely, one will be sitting with one's forearms resting on chair arms, or on ones thighs. Thus, the 1.5 lb weight of the ipad will be transferred/distributed. Accordingly, I don't see accelerometer games presenting the work out challenge that has previously been suggested.

    Definitely that marble ball game, think the latest on is Labryinth 2

    I also think that Spawn will be a really awesome game, as well as w/e other art games they have released

    I think Monopoly, Eliss, Worms and some music/studio/garageband clone would be awesome on a biger screen.

    Plants vs. Zombies, and Geodefense 2 sounds like it will be great on the iPad.

    Pretty much any point and click game would be awesome. Just imagine Monkey Island on your iPad!
