Okay, you all know I'd be the first one to praise Steve Jobs and Apple. But I think they might be going a little to far with the. iGame, a portable gaming device and Ipod in one.

Badly scanned article - Also really small...
mipadi
Is this just a rumor? Because there's nothing on the Apple website about it, as far as I can tell.
artislife90
the article says "the official debut of the machine isn't scheduled until this May's E3."

I don't think this is real.
mipadi
Yeah, I'm inclined to throw this on the "I'll believe it when I see it" pile.

Although Cocoa and integrated OpenGL would make a nice development environment for games...
EddieV
It looks wierd...
ranniel
sort of looks weird. i wonder if it is real, if so I want one.
gelionie
It looks rather fake... the buttons don't match much.
mzkandi
The buttons resemble Gameboy's buttons.....I dont know about this one. If this is indeed real, it looks kind of neat.
Zatanna
I'm not convinced it's real...yet.

I did some research and saw this:
Apple to launch gPod - hit of the year?
It's an older article, but entertaining.
Krateguy09
That can't be real. There were rumors last year about somebody releasing an apple gameboy. Pictures came out and everything, that wasn't true either.

Which Gameboy? I've never seen a gameboy with those buttons....
ranniel
well not ^ necessarily, they look LIKE. not the buttons on the right, they're in the same position but not the same buttons like A, B, and such.

Umm yeah, the arrows are the same.

Wow. I just realized that that article was from EGM. And EGM is running an April Fool's special. Jokes on you!

I don't think the buttons resemble the gameboy.

I just realized something. Apple can't make that type of D-Pad. The cross D-Pad is patented by Nintendo.

Nice job.

Anyways, Ha. If that thing ever did come out...


Also, you can tell it's fake. Look at the silouette guy. Theres something about him, but you can just tell it's fake.

This is fake. As I said earlier, this is from EGM's April Fool's edition.
