Video game makers are actively developing ipad games

Apple's ipad has been advertised as a possible "Kindle killer" as an e-book reader, according to foreign media reports March 8.　　But the thing that video game makers are talking about is that this touchscreen tablet could be a gaming platform. Asbjoern Soendergaard, founder and CEO of the Danish tactile entertainment company, said Apple's ipad would become a truly powerful platform for applause.　　It will provide an excellent gaming experience for people. Soendergaard's company is making a pet simulation game for the iphone, "pocket Pet".　　He said the ipad would allow the game developer to increase the functionality it could only think about a year ago.　　The ipad's larger display, rich graphics capabilities and processing power have prompted global video games and app developers to scramble to develop software for them before it goes public next month. Free and paid apps for the iphone (now more than 150,000) have helped smartphones become a very popular thing. Developers want the ipad to be as successful.　　The ipad will be listed in the United States on April 3, before the end of April in 9 other countries. Mobile apps and Game maker Sourcebits have subsidiaries in Atlanta and Bangalore in India. ' We're very excited about the ipad because it gives us more room to grow, ' said Brian Meehan, head of the company's global product development.
