Real Racing HD or: Why I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the iPad

There's a warranted criticism of the iPad which points out that the device is "a big iPhone that doesn't make calls." An app like Real Racing HD seems to help make the argument. Other than HD graphics and a bigger screen, this racing game works pretty much the same as its SD iPhone counterpart.

But there's one problem: it's friggin' amazing. It's hard to capture in a video, but once you have this huge display in your hands and you're driving down the track, the difference between the iPad and the iPhone becomes crystal clear. And it becomes obvious, to us anyway, that the iPad is going to open up a whole new world of mobile gaming.
