What I was hoping a a couple of years ago...
About 2-3 years ago (back when PPC ruled the roost) I was hoping (OK - actually predicted) that Apple would throw in with Nintendo and produce a derivative of the GameCube that would play Nintendo titles, but also run OS/X. When IBM announced the Cell with Sony I got even more hopeful that they'd produce something like an Amiga; with various additional processors keyed to tasks like gaming, in along with a general purpose CPU.
Once they announced the switch to Intel, I threw all that out the window.
And now they hire game programmers? 😕
I give up...

Well, it already exists. I have one with a 1GB SD card, and I can play MP4 movies (which I encode using QuickTime Pro) and regular MP3 files with it. Weird thing is that the "movie" part of the cart accepts MPEG-4 video files with AAC audio but the "music" part of the cart only accepts MP3 files...
Opera is also making a web browser (for a Japan-only release so far) for the Nintendo DS.
It would be nice if Nintendo made another high-end DS that was sort of a merger between a DS Lite, the Play-Yan micro (with a SD card slot) and Opera, all built-in.
this has nothing to do with gaming on mac OS
now that we have bootcamp apple has conceded gaming to windows
the reason switcher/gamers arent more interested in macs is hardware related - software is no longer an issue - boot into windows and away you go.
the problem is that macs make poor gaming machines (hardware) - there's no pro intel mac yet, and you cant just go to the local computer shop and buy a new graphics card for your imac/MBP. I mean they dont even clock the X1600's properly!
MB and macmini - hmpff - yes they are great for everything other than games - but noone in their right mind buys one with gaming in mind.
so ... this cant have anything to do with gamin on OSX
gaming on an ipod - maybe
interface improvements for OSX - probably

well, I don't see how you could make a "Music Quiz II"... 😉
...but Brick, Parachute and Solitaire could most definitively get pumped to v2... 😀
I posted this in another thread, but I figured it would be interesting to you guys here as well: 🙂
Apple came to my college earlier this year to recruit computer animators for work on a "secret project." The two guys who came both had worked for EA before going over to Apple.
I tried my hardest to weasel information about it, but all they could say was that for it was "home entertainment purposes," and that it involved lots of modeling and some facial animation.
