The withdrawal took place in silence. Apple had not announced the withdrawal and a statement from officialsources has not been done. So the reason why Apple has taken the only self-developed game from the market remains, for the time being inthe dark.

The history of the app starts in 2006. Even before the iPhone andiPod touch game for the iPod was available at that time. In 2008,Apple built from the AppStore as a sales platform for externalapplications developers. At the time the firm got Texas Hold'em onceagain out in a new version of its touch-screen devices. Thedevelopment of other games from Apple but failed to materialize.

Why Apple game development has notpursued, seduced by the now silent withdrawal of the poker game forspeculation. The Online Portal Mac Rumors suspected Texas Hold'emcould possibly have been a kind of example app, the Apple developerswith the capabilities of the iPhone and the iPod would showTouchSmart.
