The iPad runs iPhone apps as well has having it’s own SDK, which just dropped today… Developers on your mark! It’s variant of itunes is also based on the compromise of and iPod and Mac Book, and we can expect plenty of games for the new platform.

Stay tuned for availability, and catch the gallery, pricing, plans and specs below the break.
