Play BlackJack on your iPod

As further evidence to support my theory that Apple should make a gaming iPod to compete with the Gameboy, Nintendo DS, and Playstation Portable, iPod Downloads has created a blackjack game for the iPod that runs off of the iPod's Notes feature.

According to the site, "The beta version allows you to generate about 10 games, which is a bit limiting but it lets you get a feel for the game. Once you have finished the games, you can simply connect your iPod and run the program again to get more new games. " Not quite as fully-functional interactive as one could hope, but still pretty cool nonetheless.

Hiya, As you may or may not know, I develop alterPod, so I'm obviously interested in iPod related coding. I wouldn't mind working on the mac version of this, if you are willing. I couldn't see your email address on your site, but it's late and I'm tired, so it may be there. Feel free to contact me though on aprodite --at--podite --dot--com

Unfortunatly its PC only, if someone wants to help me port it I can give you the source. A more complete version will be finished soon.

I don't think Apple should make a "gaming" iPod. Mainly because the iPod isn't really competing with the DS/PSP/GBA, it's not even in the same category really. Those are primarily gaming devices, whereas the iPod is for music. I'll agree that Apple should add a few more games, or at least make the option to download more games. Fishes, narco.
