Just reading the latest edition, looking good so far.

Noticed a bit of a specification error in your iPad 2 vs Xoom article. The iPad 2 has an Apple A4 chip listed, instead of the A5.

Thought I'd let you know Wink

So, it should be a "1GHz dual-core Apple A5 custom-designed, high-performance, low-power system-on-a-chip".

Whoever wrote that spec list doesn't know how to spell accelerometer either.

RE: About the mag

The games reviews are a tad wrong too. Motorstorm has....gah...cant recall the name of the game but it begins with B as its picture. Whilst the amazing portal 2 has motorstorm as its pic!

RE: About the mag

Let them hold an ipad to see if the accelerometer registers the flogging. As you know, we only accept hard and measurable evidence. And double blind, obviously, with a proper control.
