It's a gaming industry epic piece of news when an original creating pioneer that has seen the digital age expand on mainly his own inventions (regardless of who stole them first), has brought the iOS and portable gaming, casual gaming, and network gaming to a level that would otherwise never had been experienced.

What? Do you not know that Steve Jobs is a cancer surviver? This almost happened a 3 years ago but Steve toughed it out but being CEO is too much of a daily grind for him now!

Steve Jobs started Apple in his parent's garage back in 1976! He resigned in 1984 but came back in 1996. Steve has made Apple the second most profitable company in the world and actually for a couple days early August 2011 Apple was Ranked #1 finally passing Exxon Mobile. Seems to me that being #1 was Steve's last goal to check off his list and now he's just gonna hopefully take it easy and enjoy life!!

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are actually good friends and even worked together back in the day.

What will the Angry Birds say? And the photo there just makes me wonder if he's thinking "Heh Bill, this looks like a much cooler faster and better version of windows now doesn't it?"

And yet the browser still doesn't support flash. Exemplary.

Reports are saying that consumers will have less trust in the products now since it isn't Steve that's in charge. I think the Apple brand stands on its own regardless of if he's CEO or chairman, he's obviously in need of some time off and enjoyment of his life other than being 'plugged in' all the time which is respectable. As far as the iOS games, even tho Android is giving them a run for their money, they both have money to run with so I think it's a matter of consumer preference. I for one respect them both but i-apps tend to be less buggy and close correctly when you want them to not hogging up ram.

I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.

An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.

Why Epic's Win Against Apple And Google Paves The Way For The Future Of Mobile Gaming

Epic Games winning its cases against both Apple and Google is shaping the way forward for the future of mobile gaming.

shinoff218342d ago

I feel alot of mobile gamers are kids which will at some point probably turn to console or pc. Mobile gaming just doesn't cut it for me.

AlterRecs41d ago

tru dat, but i feel like it's gonna be a lot more viable for people who travel a lot or don't want to invest in a full gaming rig. Think of it as a Switch on drugs, with a LOT more room for free illegal downloads.
