How the fake ‘iCade' could become real

Games are big on the iPhone ā€” the majority of apps on the App Store are games, and games are regularly among the top-selling paid and free apps. With the iPad, Appleā€™s new, and larger, touch-screen device, gaming on Appleā€™s mobile devices is poised to get even bigger (pardon the pun).
