Q. Most of the time I am fine, but when I play games like Dead Space or Rage HD and my fingers stay on the screen to move they start to not slide well. It is frustrating because it causes the games to be almost non playable. Does anyone else have this happen to them? And if so what do you do about it. My hands are clean and I wipe down the iPad screen whenever I am done with it. Thanks in advance and I know it sounds like a wierd question.
A. Your fingers get sticky because they get hot from touching the screen too much. All that friction causes them to become moist. There are 3 things you can do:
#1) use a little bit of baby powder to keep your fingers dry. (don't over do it, it can get messy)
#2) use an iPad joystick (only works on certain games):

#3) find new games that are just as fun but don't require constant use of fingers:

Does this mean my ipad 2 screen has been scratched?
Q. I've had a screen protector on my ipad 2 since the moment I opened it. I've been using the Flick joystick to play Gangstar for awhile, and it's never had any side effects, like scratching.
Today, I was playing Aralon also using the Flick joystick, and after I was done, I noticed a few lines/scuff marks where the Flick was. Now I can see some discoloration in those spots. I don't really know how to describe it, it looks all rainbow-ish. It looks similar to the way a tv screen looks when it gets scratched. It's especially noticeable when I have a white background on.
Does this mean I've scratched the screen? I can't understand how it would have scratched considering I have a screen protector on and the Flick never scratched the screen before.
I've tried rubbing the spots with a microfiber cloth and some LCD screen cleaner, but it's not helping at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A. More likely a stress fracture from either too much pressure or stress from flexing the screen in some fashion (like pulling the joystick off the screen).
What you are describing sounds like what happened to a friend's iPad when his little cousin put his little knee on the corner of the iPad.
Would you ever consider hardcore gaming on the iPad 3?
Q. Let's say they brought out MW3 on the new iPad 3, what would you dislike most about it? Would it be having to use buttons on the screen as controls? Do you think you could ever replace your PS3 or Xbox 360 with the iPad 3? If there was some kind of controller for the iPad for playing games would you consider using that?
A. i would consider something like a tablet as means of a more portable console if there was an actual controller. touch screens don't offer the accuracy or the feedback buttons and joysticks do.
