Games for the nano 6th generation

Question for Apple:

Are the any plans for additional updates. For example it would be good if there were a few basic apps/games for the nano considering the price associated with it.

Please note I understand that there is limitation to what can be added due to the size, however I do believe that adding simple card games such as solitaire, hearts, black-jack would really enhance the product and increase customer satisfaction of the product.

I brought this Ipod to replace my classic version with probably the same size screen(but not touch) and that came with games.

Sony Vaio, Windows 7

Are you referring to the iPod Classic that you can currently buy? If yes, that screen is quite a bit larger but more importantly you use the click wheel as control for any games, such as solitaire, black jack, etc.

With the current touch screen you would have to have awfully small hands and very good eyes to use the screen to control the game plus see what was happening at the same time. But it really doesn't matter as there is no Software Development Kit (SDK) available to developers for the Nano OS, so there is no possible way for them to develop games.

If with all these limitations you would still pay for games on the Nano (not sure what the price has to do with it), you need to send your request to Apple, they are not here.

Only Apple would know about videos, Apple created games, and a password lock and they aren't talking. Use the feedback link in the post above yours to send them your wishes. App downloads aren't likely since there is no Software Development Kit (SDK) for developers to use.
