Apple iPad launch weekend roundup: all the news, reviews, and features

So, the Easter weekend's finally over. While people throughout the western world enjoyed four days of rest and recuperation with their loved ones, us tech and gaming journalists got no rest whatsoever thanks to Apple and its tedious decision to hold the biggest hardware launch since the iPhone on a bank holiday.

Gripes aside, it's an exciting time to be a technophile. While the UK contingent of Pocket Gamer is still waiting patiently for FedEx to deliver our iPad to us, frontiersman Tracy Erickson spent the weekend getting to grips with the iPad and some of the best early games.

Since you were probably standing over a barbeque or eating chocolate eggs all weekend you may have missed the storm, so here it is in one tidy chronologically sequential story.
