Electronista notes that some eagle-eyed French iTunes users have spotted the brief appearance of a new iPod game dubbed "iQuiz" on the iTunes Store.

Apple currently includes a more basic quiz game with its iPod and iPod Nanos.
Haha, very clever. Isn't MR fun?Question 1: Why was Leopard's release date pushed back to October?
A. It wasn't. April Fools!
B. iQuiz was so important, they needed to use Leopard engineers.
C. The new top secret feature where an animated Eminem pops up to assist you when you need help is hitting some legal snags.
D. Apple is switching all Macs to Windows and they just want to acclimate Mac users to the way Microsoft does things.

I agree. An iPod is a nice device to use when one has small free blocks of time.I think games are one of their best ideas for the ipod, it adds so much.
Yep. Mini Golf and Vortex. Love 'em!Anyone actually buy any of the iPod games? If so more than one?
No, that's not it either. ahem... Leopard?
*sob*
I'm gonna go cry in the corner. Come get me when October rolls around.
Apple Statement
iQuiz has already passed several of its required certification tests and is on schedule to ship in late June as planned. We cant wait until customers get their hands (and fingers) on it and experience what a revolutionary and magical product it is. However, iQuiz contains the most sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on time has not come without a price we had to borrow some key software engineering and QA resources from our Mac OS X team, and as a result we will not be able to release Leopard at our Worldwide Developers Conference in early June as planned. While Leopard's features will be complete by then, we cannot deliver the quality release that we and our customers expect from us. We now plan to show our developers a near final version of Leopard at the conference, give them a beta copy to take home so they can do their final testing, and ship Leopard in October. We think it will be well worth the wait. Life often presents tradeoffs, and in this case we're sure we've made the right ones. [Apr 12, 2007]

Insert my standard argument for 'open up the development platform to everyone'

Apparently, some French guy downloaded it when he had the chance and took a video. Enjoy. http://www.igeneration.fr/fr/actu/4519/
