Apple, Apple, Apple. Why must you try and dominate everything and every aspect of the technological market? I guess with the gaming industry being the huge success that it is today, Apple has decided to give it another go. For those who don't know, Apple released the Pippin games console in the mid-1990s and failed miserably to set the market alight with its technology. It has been argued by some that this wasn't an Apple product but in fact Bandai's, which licensed the console. I bet if it was a success, Apple would have claimed the victory.
The gaming industry is now open to a variety of companies who think they have what it takes to produce innovative games and consoles that wipe the floor with what's on the market at the moment. This has reignited Apple's itch to get back into the gaming industry. Perhaps still a bit scarred from the Pippin incident, Apple have found another possible way to break the market.
Apparently, by adding horsepower to the iMac line with an overclocked Intel CPU and an Nvidia 8800M GTS (the world's fastest notebook GPUs), means the iMac could pass for a leading game rig. This would of course, depend on the number of developers it had to create games to run on it and OS X.
so you can finally play games the way the developer meant them to be played.
So could it be that we'll soon see Apple in the mobile gaming field? Watch this space.

I'm sceptical - you know when a manufacturer puts a notebook card into a desktop that they're not really serious about making it a gaming rig...
This is none news.
This so called new mobile gaming platform is (drum roll please) - the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Steve Jobs even showed an early version of Spore running on an iPhone.
