In part:
[I will be] taking the stable of franchises and games out of PopCap’s studio and adapting, customizing it for different platforms — adding multiplayer, new play modes, HD, customizing the user interface and display for Zune, iPod, AppleTV, Nintendo DS, PSP.
Wait a minute. Zune and AppleTV? Yep, that’s what the man said. We’re not sure if this is officially sanctioned gaming or something more along the lines of Tecmo Bowl, but PopCap’s stuff is already available from both Xbox Arcade and iTunes, so the jump to Zune and AppleTV isn’t that great.
So there you have it, not one but two rumors for conjecture and discussion in one sentence. We salute you, Mr. Canessa for opening up this can of worms. What think you, dear reader? Is this crap or probable? Personally, we find this within the realms of probable.

I hope PopCap will make its pricing more equitable over all platforms. It seems odd that the same games sell for $5 for iPods and $20 for Windows PCs and Macs. Seems to be a pretty big leap in price points considering these games are not exactly “Gears of War”.
