So the two of you guy Chris, and Jared, don't think the Stern Pinball Arcade App won't work on an iPad 3. To bad I really want Stern on the go, when I get bored in the car when I'm not driving, I always play The Pinball Arcade.

It's more an observation based on hardware requirements and emulation overheads. And that is only based on what I know based on extensive beta testing of the existing app and framework. And for the record, I Am Not A Developer (IANAD) so could totally be talking out of my arse.

The thing that you need to remember here is that FarSight need to draw that line in the sand so they don't get the same issue they currently have now with supporting old OS versions and devices that really shouldn't be supported. Make a hard stand against hardware and software for the benefit of the platform.

Users who know the system requirements can decide whether they are committed enough to upgrade their technology to meet app requirements.
