Apple To Launch Online Gaming Service Next Week

While Apple revealed some plans for a unified gaming experience back in April next week iOS 4.1 will finally get that update. Essentially this is Apples answer to Xbox Live, and iPhone users will have friend lists, matchmaking, score comparisons, along with persistent screen names.

What about iPad users? Will they get this functionality next week as well? No they will not, the iPad will have to wait until the November update of iOS which will bring its version up to 4.2 along with bringing the online functionality to the iPad.
