International iPad launch: Everything you ever wanted to know about the iPad...
|

Apple's iPad has been available in the US for almost two months now, but except for eager early adopters and fortunate tech journalists it's been unobtainable to the remainder of the world's population.

All us Brits have been able to do is gaze longingly at pictures of Americans having fun with their 'magical' gadgets, wondering how it feels.

All that's going to change this Friday, or sooner if your pre-order arrives ahead of the advertised date. In no time at all the UK will be awash with objects resembling large iPod touchs, and if you're going to be one of the lucky recipients you'll no doubt be looking for some guidance about what games to download and what to do generally with your lovely new iPad.

That's what Pocket Gamer is here for. Over the last two months we've published reams of content on the iPad, and here it all is corralled into one neat little feature. Just click the links to go to the original stories.

And bear in mind that the links below just represent the stories written in the last two months.Before the iPad came out and after its first weekend we published two features similar to this one, containing links to a range of everything we wrote leading up to the US iPad launch.

There's some very amusing and useful stuff in there, so if you want the full story in chronological order click on the two links below and have a look around before moving on to the rest.
