Apple preparing for iPhone accessories
Bluetooth (for the iPod touch?) and hardwired peripherals on Apple's radar
No, I don't mean Apple are working on a radar attachment for the iPhone (although that'd be sweet - fighter pilots need phones too), but on the official iPod touch 3.0 page, 'third-party game accessories' are being used to punt the paid-for update.
There are no details on exactly what form these accessories will take, or what's in the works, but it's interesting to see Apple get behind the concept so publicly.
That said, of course, the iPod touch doesn't have Bluetooth, so it seems like a strange thing for Apple to advertise there. God forbid a new hardware rumour leak out aboutWell quite. It was the Zeemote JS1 Bluetooth mobile game controller working with the iPhone that got us excited the other day, but it'd take some serious jiggery-pokery to sort that one on the iPod touch. Let's hope a wi-fi version is in development.
Spanner Spencer
Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
