Is Apple A Gamer?

Are you a game designer looking for a new job - now is the time with Apple who appears to be making their next foray one of breaking into the world of gaming.
Apple is asking for their Apple trademark to now include “handheld units for playing electronic games, handheld units for playing videogames, stand-alone video game machines, LCD game machines, and electronic games other than those adapted for use with television receivers only. They are also advertising for a new “game producer/designer to develop consumer entertainment software.”
Whether or not Apple will simply be going into the iPod/iPhone gaming realm or whether they are once again going to release a multimedia console is anyone’s guess. Apple released a console called Apple Pippin in the mid-90’s but wasn’t able to make it work. This was of course before Steve Jobs came back on board. Having Jobs there this time changes everything.
