Default iPod Photo avec Tetris ?
Apparently a new iPod photo update will give you the ability to play tetris on the go (although most of us have it on our phones, etc, anyway )


Not sure exactly when this will hit other than “sometime this month” (by which we must assume they mean June…), but AppleInsider reports the next software update for the iPod photo will deliver a color version of that venerable classic: Tetris. The click-wheel will move the pieces side to side with the click-button performing rotational duties. This is so that if you squint really hard, and have had enough drinks, you can almost sorta imagine the iPod as a gaming platform. The key word being almost.

[Thanks, RobberBaaron and Brian Breth]

Hey, just wanted to say how funny it was for me to see a word from FroggyLand ( 'avec' = with ) in your thread's title
Is it a borrowed word (if I may say so...) from my native tongue ?

Anyway, I don't own an iPod yet, too bad (not for Tetris... ) ...

I don't think I've played any of the games that came with my iPod, doubt I'd use this one either. Would just be another thing to help chew thru battery.

Funny how the most classic games always end up on the new stuff. Next will be Pacman or Frogger.

The games that come with Linux are much better than the ones provided with the iPod... just a shame the music playback isn't as good as the standard iPod firmware.

Sorry to pollute the thread, but to answer to Mastershakes, when I refer to my own country I chose to do it with humor, thus I never mention it the normal way for maybe obvious reasons I already expressed elsewhere in these forums
