Apple to Take on the Nintendo Wii?
by Wyatt WalterNew rumors in the Apple rumor mill are suggesting that Apple is filing patents to take the Nintendo Wii head-on. The patent is for an infrared device for capturing an image to decipher the direction of the device. Much like a “Wiimote”.. The device of course, has Apple’s notorious single button for simplicity, but the device sounds much the same as the Wii remote control. Apple took the cell phone industry by storm and has done a great job with making games on the devices very fun. The device is smooth and very responsive to the touch and to motion which could be a great prerequisite to a gaming system for Apple. Only time will tell as to whether or not the device ever materializes, but if anyone besides Nintendo could make a great gaming experience integrating some of the tricks of the Wii with touch it would be Apple.
