The iPad is a great gaming system by most accounts with tons of apps already available to let the owner play all the games they want. There are also a lot of options for hacking the iPad to play emulators for old school games as well.
A four-step process will turn your iPad into a SNES emulator complete with support for control via the iPhone or iPod touch or a Wii Remote. The process first requires the iPad to be jailbroken. The emulator used is called snes4iphone, though others are available.

Apple’s iPad doesn’t technically offer the ability to make phone calls, but New York-based voice over IP phone system provider M5 Networks has figured out a way to offer clients the capability through an app.
M5 offers mid-sized businesses and organizations including Amnesty International and Etsy the ability to manage work calls through the “cloud” — the tech term for the Internet — so employees can make and receive phone calls from anywhere in the world from any Internet-connected device, including cell phones and computers, as if they were going through their office line. Clients can also start a phone call on one device and seamlessly transfer it to another device mid-call.
Late last month, it added the ability to make and take calls through iPads. The app is still in the testing phase, but M5 Chief Executive Dan Hoffman says that it gives its clients yet another option for fielding their phone calls.
“The clearest reason (to take a call on an iPad) is the advantage of running this app on a Wi-Fi connection,” says Mr. Hoffman, adding that the iPad also has a better speaker microphone.

There’s yet another way to stream movies on your iPad now, with the latest release of mSpot’s Movies app for Apple mobile devices today.
Last month, mSpot rolled out its initial Movies app for the iPhone last month, and while that one was iPad-compatible, this new app is dedicated specifically to the 9-inch Apple tablet. That brings mSpot’s streaming coverage to the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Macs, and PCs.

30 Must Have Games for the iPhone and iPod touch. That garnered your attention and plenty of comments, so we’re happy to present its natural sequel, 15 Must Have Games for the iPad.
As with the first feature, let us underscore that we do not consider this to be a list of the best games for the iPad, or superlative games in any specific category. Instead, this is a collection of games vetted by The Loop as being fun to play and standouts for one reason or another. So please don’t take umbrage if you don’t see your favorite game listed. But by all means use the comment section below to share with other readers your thoughts on this list and any other iPad games you think are excellent.
Flight Control HD
Firemint wasted no time, hitting launch day for the iPad with a release of Flight Control HD, an updated version of its eminently popular iPhone air traffic control game. You rack up points by safely landing a variety of airplanes and helicopters onto their runways and landing pads. If any of them collide, the game is over. Firemint did more than just scale up the graphics to work on the iPad, however – Flight Control HD also adds new maps and a fun, quirky “3D” mode that provides the illusion of depth if you wear a pair of red/blue “anaglyph” glasses (not included, of course, but available in online, novelty shops and elsewhere).
Warpgate HD
Freeverse had been working on its ambitious action/RPG game Warpgate initially as an iPhone game, but the iPad caused them to pause the iPhone version and rework it initially as an iPad release. Envisioned as a touch-based variant on Elite or as a latter-day Escape Velocity for you Mac game enthusiasts, Warpgate puts you in the pilot’s chair of an interstellar spacecraft as you seek your fortune. You can deliver cargo, become a pirate, participate in missions that move a storyline along and more. The game’s graphics are exquisite, its scale is immense – three dozen star systems, each chock-full of planets and space stations to interact with, tons of different starships to control and lots more.

The the new updated version of the free Daily Digg iPad app just came out, and gives this app new life.
In a completely new layout, Daily Digg’s app really stands out. It delivers all of your favorite digged news articles, and displays them in a friendly newspaper-like format. For those of who you don’t like how the actually website looks, this app will be sure to be easy on your eyes.
You can flip through the pages of this virtual newspaper by choosing different sections at the bottom. Also, as opposed to the website – which devotes a lot of space to the amount of diggs and comments – this app is focused more on the headlines and first few lines of the articles. It also mentions how many diggs, but in smaller font in order to emphasize what the story is about and not waste valuable real estate on the iPad screen.
