One of the other things I'm looking forward to is a multi-iPad game where everyone's sitting at the same table and somehow using the iPads to create one giant canvas. I'm not exactly sure how that'd work, but it seems like there's some potential there. Yeah, I think a lot of my excitement with the iPad has more to do with me being a board gamer than a developer.

And with all the Renier Knizia games on the app store already, and stuff like ButtonMen, Catan (sadly no internet play)... forget about just carrying all my ebooks around, I can carry my whole freaking board game collection around. I've been playing WordsWithFriends a bunch and I can only imagine having Race for the Galaxy or Amun Re or Tigris & Euphrat or Settlers or something like that, done on the iPad in a similar, server-based format.. it would be brilliant. It might take a week to finish a game, but that's a week of just taking 2-3 minutes here or there to take a turn, instead of having to find two consecutive hours to play. I know, right?
