Apple applies for gaming trademark

It's probably easiest and safest based on the amount of rumors that are constantly swirling around Apple that this is actually nothing significant.

i know this is true because a friend of mine who works for a gaming software company said apple hired them to create something.

it'd be nice for nintendo and apple to cohoperate!

imagine a multi touch nintendo ds

OMG

Along with most people here, I seriously doubt that apple has set out to become a competitor in either the handheld or the stationary game-console industry. What is more likely is that the iphone will be developed further in order for games similar to "brain training" and nintendo ds games to be run. That's just speculation though...

It's a patent to cover games on the iPhone & iPod touch. Apps & games to a lesser extent are going to be a pretty hot thing for both of those and future touch enabled ipods.

Apple? Games?

You can expect that when somebody comes up with a touchscreen phone!

oh wait.

Apple and gaming? I haven't laughed this hard all weekend.

I've come to the conclusion that this probably doesn't mean that Apple is going to do anything game related rather it's to prevent someone else from doing it. They are covering themselves with these patents.

I dunno. Apple has a habit of updating their ipod or computers every 6 months and making a new device every 2 years. I don't think it will work well in the video game industry. and knowing apple, the 1st game system will be a crummy 20gb hd with wifi only and blah blah blah. then 6 months later 80 or 120gb with with a better graphics card for 700... lame.

I believe it will be a PSP competitor.... a handheld
