Interesting interview by Gizmondo with Tim Sweeney of Epic Games:

"I certainly believe 9x," even though they haven't benchmarked the chips. While the iPad 2 isn't at current-gen console levels of power, it delivers enough shader performance that "you can use the high-detail shaders we did during Gears of War."
In the iPad 2, there's "far far more potential in that platform than we're exploiting today." And "iPad 3, 4, 5—we can do what we can on the Xbox 360 and beyond."
Speaking of Android, you're probably wondering why there's no showstopper like Infinity Blade for the platform. Well, wonder no more. Says Sweeney, "When a consumer gets the phone and they wanna play a game that uses our technology, it's got to be a consistent experience, and we can't guarantee that [on Android]. That's what held us off of Android."
