Apple today [URL=http://www.industrygamers.com/news/apple-unveils-ipad/]unveiled its new tablet device called the iPad[/URL]. There's been speculation over the last week or so about how the new Apple platform would impact the games space. Prior to the big announcement today, [I]IndustryGamers[/I] briefly spoke with Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter. "The Apple tablet is going to be priced pretty high, certainly more than $300 [[I]indeed, it starts at $500 - Ed[/I].] so it's going to have limited appeal to gamers, although some people will buy it obviously. I think the early offerings on the tablet will be a lot closer to iPod Touch/iPhone style games, and then probably morph into DS kind of games and then ultimately will morph into PSP quality games," Pachter commented.
