It's great. Already had updates that sort the glitches the early reviews point out, and 1.3 has been submitted with a whole table portrait view which could be close to perfect (at the moment whole table is in landscape and scrolling around the screen in portrait, which is a little odd).

My only real complain is the lack of ball sound/music that makes it feel a bit quiet at times.

You cant play background music yourself then ? Be great to have a few old pinball's MP3s lurking on the iPad to play when you're playing this.

Yes, you can play your own music.

What do you mean by pinball MP3s?

I meant that surely someone must have the background music fir a few "proper" pinball tables up as mp3s on the web failing that I reckon I"d use Something by Amon tobin or some Matrix music rather than the usual cod rock.

I'd certainly enjoy dedicated iPad versions of the old Amiga Pinball Dreams/Fantasies tables. I already play the he'll out of those on my iPhone.

Haha, just noticed that the iPad autocorrects hell into he'll. Even God would be happy with this thing ;).

I got Goodreader for 59p and now I can read all my Scientology crap (and any other PDFs I have knocking around on my computer) right on my iPad :D.

It's an L. Ron Hubpad! :D
