not even on the radar."


Jayanand,

According to the tech specs on the Apple site, the iPad will run Microsoft
Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XT using the OSX Boot Camp mode. So any
software that will run on a PC will run on the iPad. Theoretically at least.
You may have to wait until after market suppliers figure out how to attach
necessary controllers. I find no problem at all in running PC games on a
more conventional Intel Mac laptop.
