Well here is something interesting, Jen (wifey) was looking on yahoo this morning and stumbled on this video. Apparently the rumor mills are buzzing about the new iPhones coming later this year being big competitors in the handheld gaming market, this being backed up by a google news report about a code name "Charlie" iPhone project.We already know about game developers such as EA have given support to apple by making games compatible for bot PC and Apple but now the video above suggests that there might be a possible purchase of EA by Apple and even more so a possible gaming console by apple. Does this surprise me? NOPE! Apple has already taken over the smart phone market, trying to break into home entertainment with the Apple TV, so why not the gaming industry. I am not saying that I am backing the idea of an Apple console.
it all depends on the game library. Hence the reason why I am not running out to buy a PS3, just not enough games I would want to play on such an expensive console with a weak online gaming community.
Just thought this would be an interesting post for those in the gaming community. It's the first I have heard the console rumor and in fact that is all it could be... a rumor. But who knows, Apple is always full of surprises. If anyone else has heard any rumors about Apple taking on the gaming industry let me know.

The artist's rendering looks like a trash can or maybe a paper shredder. It can look like a sculptured dog tird too but If they release a Castlevania for it i'm game.
