Owners of the new iPod are in for some bad news regarding games that they have downloaded for their portable pleasure. If they purchase the new iPod touch they will be unable to import said games – instead they will have to purchase them all over again. The “reformatted” versions of the games, according to iLounge, are slim pickings right now. Only three iPod games have been updated for the latest iPod, which includes EA’s Tetris and Sudoku, and Namco’s Ms. Pac-Man. These three games have all received various degrees of changes which include a new control scheme on Tetris where you will use the click wheel for block rotation. The upgraded versions of the remaining 15 games have yet to happen, and at present, there is no set time line for reformatting. The new games, when available, will cost $4.99 a piece, which is the normal price for iPod games.
Ya know, Steve Jobs is really starting to tick me off. With the new advances in technology, one would think that a company as massive as Apple would be able to remedy a situation such as this; alas, it is just another ploy to make more money.
Kudos: Engadget.

If you want to try out something new in sudoku, try shendoku, using the sudoku rules but playing two people, one against the other, like battleshipps. They have a free version to download at http://www.shendoku.com/sample.pdf . Anything else they are bringing out or they are working on you can find at http://www.shendoku.com or at they´r blog http://www.shendoku.blogspot.com . Have fun, I am. I specially like one slogan I heard about Shendoku: SUDOKU is like masturbation (on your own)…. SHENDOKU is like sex (it takes two).
