ipad gameTravis Boatman of Electronic Arts’ EA Mobile division is enthusiastic about making games for the iPad. EA showed off Need for Speed Shift, which was redesigned from the iPhone to run on the iPad. That process took a couple of weeks. EA already has 40 games on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Those games will work on the iPad, and they will even look decent because the iPad takes the smaller resolution game images and doubles them so they can scale up to the larger screen on the iPad. Even so, Boatman says EA Mobile will make games that are designed for the iPad.
