Although the Apple iPad is an extremely advanced and capable tablet as a standalone product out of the box, regular jailbreakers will know and understand the power that can be unleashed when the device is liberated and the right packages are installed onto it from Cydia. The jailbreak development community is well-known for being able to produce packages and enhancements that take an installation of iOS to the next level and bring additional feature-sets to an Apple mobile device that the company either hadn't considered implementing or had just decided shouldn't be offered to consumers for one reason or another.
If big game creators ever join forces to produce some kind of hybrid mashup, then I undoubtedly want to see Sonic the Hedgehog meet Super Mario, Master Chief from Halo running around Liberty City causing mayhem or see either Guile or Chun-Li coming up against the mean Samurai machine that is Tekken's Kunimitsu. Unfortunately, we aren't that lucky to be able to pick and choose certain elements from various games that we would like to play, but Capcom has taken the lead and created the crossover battle to beat them all.

The developer is said to have spotted signs of an "iPad3,6" device showing up in his app analytics - a model previously unknown. The device, which, taking into consideration the name, we'll presume to be an iPad, targets the new ARMv7s architecture used within the A6 SoC Apple has just showcased as powering the iPhone 5.
It may not be everyone's favorite subject but mathematics is integral to the world around us and plays a part in all of our lives in some form or another. Giving the importance of the topic, it makes perfect sense that mobile devices like the iPhone and iPad will have some pretty powerful and complex apps that allow us to learn math and assist in problem solving techniques. Named after the legendary Greek Mathematician, the Archimedes app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad is one of those such creations.
