Sherlock Holmes was just released this past Tuesday in Blu-Ray and DVD. So a Warner Bros press statement asks: “Why not download it from iTunes for your iPad? Why not also play the game designed for the device? Sherlock Holmes: Mysteries is that immersive game experience that does just that. It leverages the powerful platform of the iPad and its 1024×768 screen resolution for intense graphics through 11 immersive 3-D environments as players work to solve the case. They also take advantage of multi-touch in various boxing matches where Sherlock knuckles his way through 12 unique characters.” In other words, Warner Bros Digital Distrbution chose to support the iPad and leverage the Apple platform and its 1024×768 screen resolution in a big way.

it will be interesting to see how all this plays out with the iPad after the initial euphoria settles, considering it’s essentially a netbook and hewlett packard has had a multi-touch laptop out since 2008. but apple has a better marketing team. it would be better for everyone if apples aps could be used with other systems.
there’s another company that’s got a collapsable screen (you can roll it up like a newspaper) that i read about last year that would be more conducive to reading.
the iPhone has done well in the u.s. but apparently not so well in the rest of the world.
the iphone has done well in the US but not the rest of the world? are you kidding?
EVERYONE is going to jump on this platform bandwagon
A Warner Bros. statement, and game does not make the iPad worth buying. The iPad still doesn’t support flash, which is still most of the internet. It still doesn’t have a camera, or make phone calls. It still doesn’t have an hdmi, firewire, usb, or dvi hoookup. Not to mention that the 4:3 screen ratio would make it horrible to watch movies on. It can’t multitask. It has an internal battery that has to be recharged, and not changed out when you use too much of it.
I am a huge apple fan, but every day that they pretend that this will “revolutionize” the internet (by using their apps), and they don’t take steps to fix the problem they have created makes me less and less likely to buy a product in the future. Not to mention, the companies that are stepping in to support them when they are wrong, and we know they are wrong are also getting added to the list.
4:3 format is why I don’t watch movies on airplanes or at my parents house. So why would I spend $800 to carry the format around with me in a small satchel, or European carry-all.
The iPad could have been, and can still be redesigned into something incredible, and very useful for the film industry, but the way it stands, it is a waste of money. I can’t even be angry with Warner Brothers, because Studios are always advertising, or standing behind bad products just because there is a lot of money invested in them, so this shouldn’t be any different. They are just trying to attach their name to something new that people are tweeting about.
that sucks. no firewire or usb. and i mean, without flash, how’s anyone gonna watch youtube?
so i guess it’s just a 800 dollar kindle.
It has its own YouTube (app?) built into it. You don’t need to go to the actual website to watch videos. And don’t get your hopes up on flash ever hitting the iPad, because for some reason Apple is against it.
That sucks. No toaster or ice maker? What the point. It is just going to sit in the garage on the top shelf right next to that useless flat screen hdtv.
You’ll own an iPad in 6 months. You’re pissing into a tidal wave.
Well, if Hewlett Packard’s amazing multi-touch failed, then how can Apple think the iPad will work?
After all, Hewlett Packard has had amazing success with… um… um… printers? It’s come out with ground breaking… um… um… printer refills? It’s also revolutionized… um… um… Windows compatible PCs? I think they might make some monitors too.
Yep. The iPad is doomed. It’s just a netbook. That’s really fucking cool and everyone wants. That won’t work.
I guess Apple will have to return the half million or so that will sell in the first couple weeks. What were they thinking 4:3? Everyone knows books are 16:9.
I am curious to know what tech drives the interactive games if not the defacto
swf(flash) format?
