[casual_games] Games on the iPod

[Ben Lewis]

Finally! Although Apple is about to really drop the game bomb on the sixth
generation of iPods with touch screens and Nvidia support.

This first wave of casual games is cool. iTunes could very well become a
BigFish overnight with this model -- it's really just down to
implementation. Solitaire works amazingly well on iPods, so I don't see why
Mahjong wouldn't. Might try it out when I get home tonight.

What do people think of Apple's announcement of selling casual games on 
the iPod?

http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/games.html

$4.99, no play-before-you-pay.

I've always like this model much better than $19 and a 1-hour demo.  I 
feel this is like putting a kid in a candy store with 1000 different 
kinds of candy and telling him that he can only sample one of each kind, 
then he needs to pay.
