Animated New Yorker CartoonNo doubt jealous of the success garnered by her spouse, Ms. Pac-Man has insisted that she too be included (iTunes link) in this brave new world of downloadable iPod games. The classic Namco title featuring the pink-bowed chomper is now available for $4.99 at the iTunes Store, marking the first new title introduced since the introduction of Sudoku and Royal Solitaire back in December. The move may make one of my friends, a Pac-Man addict happy—finally.

Ms. Pac-Man isn’t the only new addition to the iTunes Store this week. The New Yorker magazine, in cooperation with RingTales, has released animated versions of some of its cartoons (iTunes link) as free downloads. The cartoons are about twenty seconds long; you can watch them via the iTunes Store or download them to your iPod. According to the description, new cartoons will appear three times a week.

Finally, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Friend of the Blog Merlin Mann’s new video podcast, The Merlin Show, in which the wizard of 43 Folders interviews people like musician Jonathan Coulton. You can download the show directly from the site or subscribe via iTunes.
