Okay, I'll admit it - the one reason I'd get an iPad would be to play tower-defence style games to my heart's content, but I've heard that iPhone-apps just don't cut the mustard on that gorgeous screen. It is fortunate, then, that Subatomic Studios have released Fieldrunners for iPad - MacWorld say that it's an iPhone classic, now iPad sized, and I have a feeling that's exactly what it would be. Now, if only I had an iPad...If you're into the whole "layered vector graphics" of games such as any of*the excellent geoDefense series of games on the iPhone, or even if you're just after a good*Geometry Wars Touch replacement on the iPhone,*I'd definitely check out PewPew2.

Gun enthusiasts among us will be overjoyed at the fact that there's now an app for gun dis/assembly. Ever taken a Colt 1911 apart? Ever done so on your iPhone? Well, you can now.
Some patents from Apple about location-based services make me wonder if they're going to buy any location-based startups anytime soon. Foursquare? Gowalla? Britekite? Bueller?
Your iPhone is about to be*invaded by Poodles, but the real WTF is that this is apparently a "shooter" game.
