Review: iPod gets its game on
|
 Not content with its 75 percent share of the digital music device market in the United States, Apple Computer Inc. has morphed its wildly popular iPod into a pocket-sized photo album, podcast player and video viewer.
And now the Cupertino, California-based tech company has unveiled its latest plan to stay on top: iPod games.
iPod owners with any fifth-generation (video) player -- which sells for $249 (30-gigabyte version) or $349 (80-gigabyte version) -- can now download nine games from the iTunes store for $4.99 apiece, which can then be synched to the iPod to take on the go. You must first download and install the latest iTunes 7 software for Microsoft Windows or Apple Macintosh computers.
Titles include some well-known classics and some not-so-familiar games: "Tetris," "Zuma," "Texas Hold'em," "Mahjong," "Mini Golf," "Pac-Man," "Cubis 2," "Bejeweled" and "Vortex."
Many games let you pause your progress and offer the option to see the time and battery level in the top corners of the 2.5-inch screen.
