Grad School (again?) and Other Things

Well, my application to RIT's SE master's program is officially in. I await their decision. I would really like to get back to RIT to formalize my educational credentials so I could get a job. Sounds like not an unreasonable hope right?

On a totally different note, someone contacted me earlier today asking me to make a product like Uzu for the iPad. I took a look and found youtube videos that really impressed me. It's a very apt comparison to Finger Fireworks too.

The thing that most caught my eye though was the fact that the hardware on the iPad is so good. I have not had the opportunity to mess around with an Android tablet, so I don't have any idea how they would perform, but it's pretty clear that the iPad has a pretty heavy duty GPU.

Additionally, the ten-point multitouch is something I really want to experiment with. I just looked up the Xoom's specs and apparently some (all?) also support ten-point multitouch. My Android phone is a two-point multitouch device. This is a perfectly understandable design decision, as screen real estate is so limited, but it's also BORING.

I need more money to buy gadgets...
