Sadly this will probably be my first iPad purchase. Although I wish they'd finish off the iPhone version properly first...

also suspect they're playing a waiting game on the currency so leaving it until as late as possible (gotta love those forward fixes)

:)

I'd like to see...

-SOWPODS dictionary
-Sound off setting
-The app stop timing out whilst you are studying the board
-Knowing what tiles your opponent had left at the end of the game
-A way to customise the board to set it up like a scrabble board
-Some decent YakYak players... ;)

And maybe a ban on cheeky two letter words with the big 4 letters...

Impressive.

I spose no moving parts helps a lot there - like to see how long we are talking if the movies were all streamed though..

I imagine only thing holding this back from becoming reality is that it would need a jail broken pad to use it.

Didn't think the keyboard dock was available for a while. Not that Mr Fry has to wait of course.

Wish I'd ordered the leather case with mine. Guess I'll have to wait until that hits the UK now.
