Apple is reportedly planning to launch a new device specifically aimed at the gaming market. According to unnamed developer sources speaking to PocketGamer, Apple has been talking about its plans with third-party developers during the Game Developers Conference this week, hinting that a dedicated game controller is on the way.
The site claims Apple might announce such a device as soon as April, a month that is loosely rumored for another Apple media event. This time of year would traditionally be reserved for iPad announcements, but Apple's decision to update the full-sized iPad (and introduce the iPad mini) last October has thrown predictions off-schedule. That said, the as-yet-unannounced April event might well be yet another iPad reveal, but PocketGamer believes Apple plans to shift its focus to gaming for the upcoming event.
There are reasons to be skeptical of this one—PocketGamer claims Apple booked a conference room at GDC under a pseudonym and has been holding secret meetings with developers to talk about the game controller. This seems unlikely given Apple's heavy focus on secrecy even among its own employees, but not entirely impossible—Apple does occasionally bring in third parties to co-brainstorm at its Cupertino campus.
