Welcome to the first episode of Platformer, the show about the tech you use to work, play and create. Sprung from the loins of the Platformer audio podcast on platformer.ca, our new show aims to inform and entertain you with the latest tech news, reviews and interviews with amazing innovators.

In this episode we look at the new iPad and go to the White Day Hackathon at A Thinking Ape (www.athinkingape.com).

Sponsors for White Day Hackathon included A Thinking Ape, Silicon Sisters, EA, Microsoft, East Side Games, and the UBC Computer Science department.

You can check out a photo album from the event here.

The iCloud rises! As does the Apple TV, wifi and Canadian politicians, MTV supplanted by Youtube, and much, much more!

A Chip-less podcast this week, but Todd and Warren are in the same room at the same time. Will wonders never cease? Probably not. They covered the shrinking length of games, the abysmal Blackberry Playbook launch, Portal 2, Final Cut, an Apple television, and a surfeit of other exciting game related news. Excitement! Cats! Echoes!

The ground shook, Hell froze over and Chip bought an iPad 2. He gives his impressions, including the overall zippiness of the device, the crapitude of the onboard cameras, and the awesomeness that is Flipboard.

We also covered new versions of Infinity Blade and Dead Space for iOS, the arty Sword and Sworcery (due in a week), and gave our impressions of iOS 4.3. A lengthy digression about Twitter and SXSW finally ended up with what we’ve been playing, which ranges from a running app to an over the top sociopathic killfest. Fun!
