9.7 inch multi-touch screen, 1024x768 screen res, 1GHz processor, OpenGL 3.0 support, tilt-based support, and minecraft would work great on the iPad.
EA is developing a 3D FPS that looks far better than minecraft with multiplayer support, so I dont see why minecraft couldn't be playable on the iPad.
Minecraft on the iPad! Swipe screen to move where you're looking at. Tap to build, tap with 2 fingers to destroy. Tap with 3 fingers on a block to copy its type. The X on block selection is to view all blocks available
Wow that would be pretty awesome.
Though instead of having to tap with 2 fingers all the time, it should be the old layout, with right click (2 finger tap) changes between build and destroy.

heheheh, the likelihood of Notch porting to pad [ as of now ] , really low, the likelihood he'll just make you wait ****-long until after finishing the game, pretty high.
Notch can just pay some guy to port it, sign a contract or something so he won't work away with the code. Would pay off, since you can sell the app for $3.99 or so and many people will buy it.
Would it run on a 1 GHz processor that's pretty much new and untested, not to mention an in-house brand with integrated graphics?

At the end of the day it's the chair I trust
The cushion is comfy and the works don't rust
With a straight line of vision to my Elvis bust
Watch the kingdom, eat the bread crust
Only problem about this is that expansions in the future might not be put on it, so you'd have to pay another $4 or so for Survival and MP Survival, and so on.

It's too bad the jumbo iPod touch wont move any units because it's an overpriced hunk of junk, and serves no purpose outside of doing exactly what the iPod touch does now, but without fitting in your pocket.

They'll find a way, they always drop their 'outdated' junk, and then run after the slightly better version as if their last device would give them aids.
iPad just seems silly. You lose the portability of the iTouch for a bigger screen. At least you can bring an iTouch to work and maybe get away with messing around with it when you're bored.
iPad, though.. Might as well just get a laptop. It'll be a hell of a lot more powerful and versatile.

Exactly. Once people hack it to run OSX I will consider.
I had to stop on the 2nd page. This is just bizarre.
He sounds brain-washed or something.
Quote from name=Stephen Fry »
The moment you experience it in your hands you know this is class. This is a different order of experience. The speed, the responsiveness, the smooth glide of it, the richness and detail of the display, the heft in your hand, the rightness of the actions and gestures that you employ, untutored and instinctively
Weird.
It seems almost sexual.
Like I'm reading a pedophile's thoughts on underage children, only it's cleverly disguised as talk about the iPad.
I don't think people would be willing to shell out 500+ dollars for the iPad just for a Minecraft app. (Yes, of course there would be other apps, but a Minecraft app is the point of this thread.) It's more likely that Notch would port to smaller, lesser priced handhelds or consoles before jumping straight into the iPad, which isn't a guaranteed success as of now.
I'll just wait for the microsoft Courier (so much sexier) or some other tablet comp that has a processor that isn't ripped out of a phone.
The iPhone runs an Intel, genius. the Apple A4 is a brand new in-house processor. And DUDE, IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A FREAKIN TABLET, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A CROSS BETWEEN A SMARTPHONE, A LAPTOP, AND THE AMAZON KINDLE!!!!1 [/raeg]

Its a quad core 1ghz so it could maybe run it, but overall the Ipad(shitty name) is just a big ol' itouch
