iPad does games?

There is an interesting article with some pretty neat graphs on the make out of the apps on the iPad. Apparently games are big, making up one third of the available apps and they are equally popular. It also helps that games are cheap compared to other apps, such as those in the medical category. Check out the article at TechCrunch.

The IpAd? Never Heard of it.

Every other story in the news is about this..."thing." The subject isn't completely unrelated to video games since Apple has been doing very well in the portable games market, bringing in more cash than the PSP. There is a good article on the subject at Flurry.com.

I have no doubt that the iPad will make money or that people will play games on it, but is anyone getting this for that purpose, or are games just a nice add-on?
