Forbes looks at some of Appleās latest maneuverings and concludes the company is muscling up on its mobile gaming business.
This week, Apple picked off two guys with heavyweight rĆ©sumĆ©s ā Richard Teversham, Microsoftās former Xbox strategy-mans, and Bob Drebin, who at Advanced Micro Device created the Gamecubeās graphics processor. Those developments, added to Appleās investments in graphics and semiconductor technology, translate to āsnappier, better looking games,ā on the iPhone and iPod Touch, writes Forbes.
Also notable, programmers say Apple reminds them to develop for different resolutions and screen sizes. Considering the profound success of the iTunes App Store, which just passed a billion downloads, and gold-rush tales of indie developers striking it rich with simple games, Appleās investment in creating more robust games and apps is a no-brainer. But whether it amounts to a new device, or one with a gaming focus, is anyoneās guess.
