We all know Apple's entry level hardware isn't fast enough to play the latest games. The mini & MacBook only have a GMA950 which is about the same performance as Radeon 9200. However I do think Apple might the option of getting into handheld gaming with the next generation Ipod.
All the rumors are showing a full touch screen video ipod (some faked, others not -who knows??) http://guides.macrumors.com/Gallery_of_Apple_Leaks _and_Prototypes with possible talk of bluetooth/some other wifi-ness. Now it's you have played with Nintendo DS, you know that some great games exist - ones that are fun to play due to the touch screen. Itunes would make a great delivery method, bluetooth could make multi-player standard. - Could Apple do it? Would the hardware be useful?? Chip based decoding mp4/mp4/AAC is a little different than providing a GBA..
