    By commoditizing mobile video gaming into the powerhouse that is iTunes, Apple can team its new smartphone and WiFi mobile platform business with the high volume software sales related to gaming. Apple quietly began developing its downloadable gaming business for the iPod in 2005, and earlier this year released a signed software platform for the iPhone and iPod touch that follows the business models of existing video game consoles developed by Nintendo and duplicated by Sony and Microsoft.



    iTunes was just the beginning.

    This is all very good news but when can we expect this next model? Im guessing Summer 09 is too soon but maybe Q4 09?

    I think that leveraging Nvidia for the iPhone/Touch may happen as Apple does seem to be focusing on portable gaming. I think the summer for the iPhone and fall for the new iPods, but their may be a delay if Nvidia's Tegra APX 2500 (or equivalent for Apple) hasn't ramped up production to support millions of devices out of the gate.

    Wow a possible summer release. Hopefully Apple can put pressure on Nvidea to make sure they dont fall behind.

    Could someone please explain to me how this new platform differs from OMAP3 and in what way is it better? Im not having a pop at it but rather for my own information? Thanks
