Neven Morgan on Third Party Apps for the iPad

“Now think about app quality. Not being able to test on an iPad will suck for sure. That’s why responsible developers won’t ship before they’re happy, and irresponsible ones will churn out crap with the same speed and vehemence as always. You can’t stop stupid. Apple will hopefully reject unusably crappy apps, but beyond that, expect the same mix of pearls and dogcrap in the store as today.

I wouldn’t be surprised if top-rate developers such as EA, Rockstar, Activision, ngmoco got early units to test on. I also wouldn’t be surprised if a huge number of apps got iPadded without too much fuss, real units in developers’ hands or not.”
