    MAME available now for iOS

    This would be awesome if it would work with an iCade cabinet. I'm addicted to Pac Man and Mrs. Pac Man

    I like the "Screens" app personally. Works with built-in Apple screen sharing as well as vanilla VNC servers.

    You could always pick one up used on Craigslist and then it won't depreciate as much if you want to upgrade their iPads later this year. Personally, I bought iPad minis form myself and my kids. I had an iPad 3 with retina screen, but honestly feel that the form factor makes up for lack of...
