I R 2005 Games Xbox Ipod 200X150GameSpot has recently reported that Apple is recruiting for a top-secret project, which seems to be related to iPod gaming. While nothing can be confirmed for sure, what we do know is that Mike Lampell, former technical director at LucasArts, is heading a top-secret group in the iTunes department. Apple is hiring C and C++ coders with a “gaming background.” The engineer who was recruited (according to GameSpot) said Apple wouldn’t reveal the nature of the job until he was hired and had singed a non-disclosure agreement. What might all this secrecy mean for the future of the iPod? Could Apple start selling games through the iTMS? Is the iPod turning into another cell phone?

Perhaps a new portable line. Handheld gaming console. If so, they probably integrate it with something else. A new iPod type, a cell phone, whatever.
