can't say that this look particularly fun. in the future real 3D iPad gaming will come from services like onlive.

Onlive can exist where the data connection is strong, but the device is not powerful enough to run the game. That is a narrow window, one that will close.

Looks flipping sweet! Hopefully, the iPhone 4 will be able to handle this until we get our iPads tomorrow!
