Bought an iCade
Bought myself an iCade (finally). Managed to get hold of one for £40 from PC World (great deal) and it works great with the iPad.
Super Stickman Golf
Loving this game on iPad. Tried online multiplayer for the first time on iOS and the experience was great; matchmaking occured quickly, connection seemed steady and most importantly I won! 
iCade SDK
When I first saw the iCade I immediately wanted one but then wondered what games might be compatible with the setup. Apple haven’t made it easy so far to link in external controls to the iPad and despite the way the games industry has fallen over themselves to offer touchscreen offering over the past few years I’ll always prefer using a traditional joystick/joypad. So imagine my delight when I read that the makers of iCade are offering to share their SDK, for free, with interested developers!
The second a major retro game is released with iCade support I’m likely to order one. Games like WWF Wrestlefest, Double Dragon, Street Fighter II, R-Type (to name a few) are all crying out for a good port with decent controls, so I’m praying the Capcom’s/Namco’s/Irem’s of this world are watching and listening.
iPad 2
I couldn’t help myself. I’ve joined the iPad 2 club and I have to say I’m enjoying it a lot so far.
I was sceptable for ages but then a couple of weeks ago I decided to visit an Apple Store and try one out and I was impressed with how browsing the web on touchscreen seemed to somehow bring the experience closer to me. I know that sounds corny (like some of the promotional advertisements) but it’s true. Last night was spent using the device to read some PDF’s in bed whilest listening to some classical music and I found the experience really enjoyable (so much so that I’m planning on boosting my classical collection now).
I’ve still got to pick a case for it (the smart covers don’t cover the back of the device so I’ve ruled them out) and I felt a little self-conscious using it on the tube, but otherwise I’ve few complaints.
