Super Street Fighter IV has already rocked our socks off on home consoles, so the idea of being able to play the game on the move sounds almost too good to be true. Does this portable edition manage to capture the magic, or is it a pale imitation? Join us as we find out in our exhaustive review.

UPDATE: Clearly we hadn’t had enough coffee this morning. The iPad 2 was always due for an 11 March on sale date, not an 18 March date as mentioned in our original story below – so if you’re in the US and hankering for one get thee to the Apple website and order.
Good news for our US readers: the iPad 2 has gone on sale earlier than expected! Apple had originally slated the iPad 2 for an 18 March launch date Stateside, but here we are a week earlier and it’s up there in the online Apple Store just begging to be added to your “basket”.
The sun is well past the yardarm and the day is drawing to a close, but before you rush out the door you might want to cast your eye over this afternoon’s top tech stories.
Sidescrolling platformers are a rich little sub-genre among iPhone games and make up a solid little section of our best iPhone apps library. Canbalt and Monster Dash have long been our two favourite but now we’ve completed a trio of awesome sidescrollers with the appropriately-titled Dalton – The Awesome.
The game which has an intriguing scribbled graphics style features a baseball cap wearing stickman running through a roughly-drawn world pursued by zombies and picking up power-ups on the way. It’s a simple game but great fun and like many iPhone games, surprisingly addictive. See Dalton – The Awesome in action after the break…
Android Honeycomb has had a beat down from one analyst who reckons it has little chance of mass adoption. Trip Chowdhry of Global Equities Research has said Google’s first tablet-specific version of Android is “by the geeks, for the geeks, and of the geeks”.
Chowdhry also railed against the Motorola Xoom, the flahship Android Honeycomb tablet, and complained that the Xoom crashes, has bad battery life, and that the auto-wrap of text on the screen is wonky.
Ouch!

In our digital age, predicting what’s going to sink and swim is a dodgy business: you’re at the mercy of a connected community who change their minds at the drop of a hat. Folks have been making bad tech predictions for more than a century, and still don’t learn that going out on a limb can often backfire. In celebration of those who sacrificed said metaphorical limbs, we’ve gathered together some of the worst, most off the mark tech predictions ever, from the failure of the telephone to wonky iPad predictions and the definite flop of the Huffington Post. Read on!
