The worst thing about playing games on an iPad? ‘Virtual Joysticks’. Very fiddly to use and you end up covering the majority of the screen with your huge clumsy hands. However solutions are on the way, including this awesome looking portable joystick called ‘Fling’. Now you could well argue that developers should be making games that suit the iPad instead of shoehorning bad controls in, but the lure to play to play Pac Man Championship Edition DX on the go is just too strong. Watch out ghosts, daddy has a brand new toy. Shame about the name though, not the best thing to search for online. To save you the embarrassment of having ‘fling’ in your google search history, you can find the official website here.

Samsung Galaxy Tab
0 CommentsSeptember 2, 2010 – 11:51 am
Samsung have finally unveiled the Samsung Galaxy Tab, their first tablet device and the first major competitior to the iPad.
Appearance wise, the Galaxy Tab is like a big Galaxy S Phone, coming in at 7inches and 380g – smaller and lighter than iPad. The device is powered by Android 2.2 and can even make phonecalls – can not wait to see someone hold this beast up to their ear.
As it is powered by Android 2.2 it can play flash videos and visit flash websites as well as being compatible with the Android Marketplace and the thousands of apps already available.
Samsung have built an eBook reader and media player for the device and video wise it can playback files encoded in DivX, XviD, MPEG4, H.263, and H.264.
There are two cameras, the front facing one is 3 MP and has a flash while the front facing 1.3 MP camera can support video calls over 3G.
Looks like a nice piece of kit, but is it just an oversized android phone? Would you carry two devices or just stick to the phone?

Stuff 3D glasses, we want Eastenders to be shown in the living room in the form of holograms and this merry dream/nightmare could soon be a reality with the rather clever combination of a pyramid shaped screen and an iPad. No need for glasses, just need to ditch the telly for a giant pyramid. We’re gonna need bigger front rooms.
