Even though a lot of times I look at the other side, I'm still an happy owner of a MacBook Pro and an iPhone.
As you all know, Apple has recently announced its latest creation: the iPad.
I was really interested in this mobile device, mainly because I was looking for something similar to a tablet pc, to use as a digital sketchbook and to get rid of my notebook.
While the iPad looks amazing, and seems rather interesting, my main problem is that there's no pen device for it. I mean there's the Pogo Sketch, but there's also no pressure sensitivity, and this limits the iPad use quite a lot.
I may try the Pogo pen on my iPhone just to see how it feels (is a pretty cheap piece of hardware), but I'm not really convinced it will be a good choice. We'll see once it enters the market.
What the iPad will be great for tough, is games I think. Recently due to my work at Eurocom, I'm really enjoying playing games again. There was a time when I was 16, that I dreamed to become a game developer. I used to write my own little games on the Amiga, drawing sprites and writing code (anyone remember AMOS ?).
So today, I started to delve into iPhone game development. I don't want to start a business or anything, just have some pure old fashioned fun, together with my girlfriend, that really enjoys little games like the iPhone usually has.
We'll see with time what I'll come up with!
