congrats nick
Yeah, he’s one lucky dude…!
Were there any other stuff apart from the iPad?
Yeah, there were supposed to be some “other cool stuff”, right? Or was it for another contest?
Bah.
lol, u guys are a bunch of lying deceits.. you guys closed the entry system extremely early and when I tried to submit my comment with the link to the post… that took me an hour to write, it was closed.. thanks shoemoney for being a sucker.. I hope nick enjoys his ipad though. pieces of crap. (yea i know u wont post this comment but a response email would be nice) idiots.
Interesting Adamn… We actually took entries until Thursday morning which was many hours after we originally said we would.
Wah wah wah
Go cry somewhere else.
lol retard….. congrats dude
lol.. thats why I saw aton of comments on Facebook saying that they couldnt leave links because commenting on the post was disabled or wasnt working. Or maybe its ur system that only allows a max of 125 comments… because thats when it was disabled, which was on “Wednesday” evening.
Adam, the crybaby convention isn’t until next week. Go back down into your Mom’s basement and play your Atari. Maybe she’ll make you a sandwich with the crust cut off.
LOL The best comment ever!
I was too late in submitting my entry, too. But to no one’s fault but my own. I read about the contest soon after it was announced but didn’t get around to writing the review. My bad.
What exactly would be my staffs motivation for not allowing people to enter?
This always happens when people don’t win
… Remember Izea and that contest?
Caleb
people are never happy lool loser but happy new year lool congrats Nick
and Shoe nice t-shirt !!!
You got that right. There’s always something for some people to complain about. That’s just the way it goes.
It seems like they did post your comment. There must be a perfectly good reason why you weren’t able to submit your entry.
Congrats to Nick on winning the ipad!
my worlds just collided
Awesome so glad I won great way to start off the new year with a new IPad!
Lucky you! Congratulations man!
What a great way to start a year! I hope I get to win something as awesome in one of your upcoming contests, Jeremy!
So awesome.
Eh… I really wanted to win
congrats!
That sucks…I thought you guys were going to pick out the best realistic review…Not a draw…Lucky guy!
Either way your going to have people cry… random seems to be the fairest way.
If I remember correctly, he did say that the winner will be picked randomly. Sounds fair enough to me.
You can’t blame Shoe for not winning. Why not join the next contest and see how you fare?
Well done for winning.
The prize itself more than make up for the time and effort that went into writing that review. Congratulations!
Congrad people for making it to the running. I wanted it too, but my vote is with danger he deserves it.
Maybe next year for me. I’ll choose my own adventure now.
See you in Vegas
The Shoemoney description of Danger Brown definitely takes the cake. Hope he wins the complete package.
I just voted for him. He deserves to win.
I voted for him as well. Hands down on the description, Shoe.
very nice congratulations.

Congrats to the winner! Man I will be on the look for the next prize! Cheers and Happy New Year to all!
Nice one, Nick!
Awesome! It must be nice to win something as cool as an iPad.
But I think it’s *still* much cooler to win a free pass to the upcoming Playboy Mansion shindig!
Where’s the LIKE button when you need one?
Congratulations, Nick! Hope you hook up to the latest update of Angry Birds.
The $5 I spent to get that app was worth every cent. Ultimate addiction indeed!
I am absolutely re-tweeting this. By the way, did you know that as far as ergonomics are concerned, the standard seated-with-iPad-in-lap move is a completely comfortable experience, but there are definitely use cases where handling a flat slab becomes a pain? For instance, single finger typing becomes a bit of a game of hunt-and-peck, and that’s the situation you find yourself in if you’re ever standing with the iPad or holding the device with your other hand.
No multitasking, no camera or iChat capabilities and no HDMI port. An iPad is a waste of time really.
You should get NBA Game Time Courtside if you’re into basketball. No need to spend for it since you can have it for free.
Is it just me or does anybody else here play Babylonian Twins HD, too? Here’s a GamePro review: “With origins as an Amiga game in the early ’90s, Babylonian Twins has a long and storied history. The game allows players to switch between two unique characters, both of whom have unique abilities which will be used to navigate around enormous levels. We found the game to be extremely challenging–despite it’s kid-friendly art–and its head-scratching puzzles are incredibly satisfying to solve. With that being said, the best target audience for this game is the older crowd that can appreciate a truly challenging platformer. Worthy of special mention is the original Iraqi-influenced musical score, which is both soothing and appropriate for the setting of the game.”
I’ve noticed that there are no anti-iPad comments in the thread. Interesting.
The iPad is not a device to replace our phone, nor is it a device to replace our PC. It is a new device that will encourage new ideas and ways of doing things. It stands alone in the sea of computers and phones that exist in our market already. I’ve got to hand it to you, Nick. Congrats!
I bought one for my daughter a few weeks back. So far she seems to be really happy with the gift. I don’t own one, yet, so I don’t know what the fuss is all about.
The device is completely underwhelming. It is essentially an over-sized iPod touch with a bigger screen. This item falls somewhere between a smart phone and a Netbook, and I can’t see a single reason to buy the iPad over either.
Well, there you go. You really can’t please everybody.
In my experience, the A4 SOC seemed to deal with whatever I threw at it handily. From opening and rendering webpages to playing the most graphically intensive games (including scaled iPhone versions, of course), it didn’t miss a beat. The photo app was particularly impressive, allowing for fast scrolling through high resolution pictures without a hiccup, and handling rotation and zooming with no resistance or hesitation.
The iPad’s screen is not as power efficient as OLED devices, which don’t drain batteries as quickly. Moreover, LED screen tends to be harder on the eyes than the e-ink screens used on eReaders such as the Kindle.
While the iPad’s display has been praised as crisp and sharp, its screen — LED-backlit with In-Plane Switching (IPS) — has its downsides.
Got any updates on this year’s Humongo Nation tour?
Check out Battle for Wesnoth, too. Definitely worth your $4.99, baby!
Why spend money on apps when you can get some of the best for free? Try Dizzypad HQ now and see the light.
The iPad doesn’t support Flash player, which means we can’t connect to sites like Disney, Hulu, ESPN, Farmville, or JibJab, and won’t have access to certain Flash-based online games. Apple’s arguments against Flash are that it poses a security risk and is a ‘resource hog,’ but the lack of Flash support is nonetheless a hindrance for users.
I’m still waiting for its upgrade, Shoe. The iTampon. LOL
Wait a minute. Shoe didn’t just put Danger on top of the list for no reason. He wants him to win. Is there a conspiracy here, Jeremy?
When you strip it down to the things that the iPad can do, and insert it into places that it makes sense, then it will be the right tool. I already see it is a good portal for anyone who doesn’t want a lot of hassle of a computer, but wants to have limited web access, etc. It’s a tool, and if used properly, will be a good tool.
“We want to put this in the hands of lots of people,” said Steve Jobs of the iPad’s price. While the device is lower than pundits’ predictions (it starts at $499 for a 16GB model, whereas people had guessed it would begin at $1000), it’s still a bit costly for the masses.
Broken Sword is still the number one iPad app!
Best game for me is Attack Kumquat HD, surprised it hasn’t been featured yet. Its being compared to Angry Birds but is a whole lot more and is a must to check out!
As I see it, there’s no point to this device. Laptops can do everything it can do and more, for less money. Even netbooks can. Why would anyone buy this when you get a much better, full-sized computer with an actual OS, not a phone OS, for significantly less money?
Not to derail, but Im looking for a specific post in which shoemoney talks about a tip for using title and meta description and how it shows up in google. Something about how the keyword is bolded and where to place the keyword in title and meta description. Can someone point me to the post?
Some people love it. Some don’t. You know what I really like? A free Playboy Mansion party pass…
It remains to be seen whether people will shell out upwards of $500 for a device they’re not sure they need, and aren’t certain how they’ll use.
The original Fieldrunners was one of the first iPhone games to receive critical acclaim from press other than the traditional gaming media, and it sparked a wave of tower defense games on the App Store. 8 bucks a pop!
When’s the next contest, Jeremy?
There’s no question that the route Apple has taken is genius. They’ve built a “computer” that’s so obvious and easy to use that anyone can pick it up and understand it immediately.
Hey..
