Actually I might have changed my mind on this. It seems anybody gifting us an iPad 2 is simply too much to ask for, so instead I think a ‘donation fundraiser’ ONLY for an iPad 2 might be fair and permissible. It would be closed as soon as the necessary money is reached for buying an iPad 2 - I’ve said before that I really don’t like this donation racket but if this is the only way for people to actively help out in making the project become bigger and better, then this is what we have to do. I don’t see myself doing outrageous thousand-dollar kickstarters - I just need crucial stuff like an iPad 2 for doing an iOS port of Retroarch (and it doesn’t look like I can count on too many people to do all that work and release it for free - so it falls upon myself to do it then).
We really need to expand to iOS - that is the last frontier really - I have a Blackberry Playbook myself so I can port to that by myself, but I simply don’t have an iOS device - Apple TV 2 has too little RAM (256MB) and lacks a touchscreen, so we really need the iPad 2 for development purposes - iPad 1 is simply too weak and will not do for testing.
