apple handheld console?

Apple recently filed for a trademark for a handheld device capable of doing games. Looks like Apple might be thinking about a PSP or DS style console…While I feel this might be a bit of a strange move on the part of Apple as they don’t appear to have a lot of experience with gaming (and, judging by their use of IGP, don’t really care about gaming in their core business) it might open up some interesting possibilities, especially, if Unity3D would support this device, for Indies…

Hello, Mothership? Do you know something we don’t? :wink:

If I’m not mistaken, that is not a trademark for a particular device but a simple extension of the Apple trademark to include games in it, including the possibility that other devices could focus on games.

Anyway, Apple already has three game platforms. iPod pre-touch, iPhone/iPod Touch and Apple TV. Just waiting for the SDK and the games. 3D isn’t really in the cards, yet.

Hm, that would be kinda cool :slight_smile:
