Theorizing a Big Apple Push Into Gaming

Posted by timothy on from the remember-nanosaur-fondly dept.

Ian Lamont writes "Terrence Russell has outlined an interesting theory about what industry Apple intends to break into next. He points to games. Forget Pippin II, or an iMac gaming rig — he thinks the mobile realm is where Apple will make a big product push. It's not the first bit of speculation about Apple's renewed interest in gaming, but Russell's theory may have more legs, considering Apple's invitation to develop games on the iPhone SDK, its strong mobile product line, and a Apple trademark extension filed three months ago."

    Sorry. I might be a fanboy at time, but Daniel Eran is completely off the rails. He's a neocon communist liberal conservative when it comes to measured commentary.

    maybe you are right. I still have not seen a Mac that is worth HALF of what it costs, or a Mac that can run current video games at an enjoyable level of quality. I don't think you can have an overly ergonomic, high profiting hardware (meaning it is crappy for what you pay), unpopular format, computer that is also good at running awesome video games. Maybe it can run wii quality games, but nothing notable by any standard of a true gamer. Since 1994 I've said it and I'll say it again: "Crapintosh... Macintrash... Crapintrash!"
