A couple of years ago we reported on the launch of Pac-man for iGoogle. Today we’ve learned that Pac-man is now available for the iPod Touch and the iPhone. I wonder what the gameplay is like seeing as you have to hit tiny buttons on the iPhone screen. The game costs $5.99.

Want to feel old? Read this line from Jonathan Kromrey, general manager for Apple Games for Namco Networks, “With tricks and traps, special items and battles against giant ghost-bosses, this isn’t your parents’ PAC-MAN.” Luckily the “old” version of Pac-Man is also available.

Without looking, can you name the orange ghost?

Pacman is great, but where is that hottie Ms. Pac-man? Useless bit of info: I won a Ms. Pac-man tourney in Atlantic City when I was a wee little kid.

Google has launched a new customizable section which allows you to add some of the most popular widgets to your customized home page.

Now there are about 100 or so options. My eyes immediately went to PacMan. Who would have thought that the best search engine and the best video game ever would come together? Well, thirty minutes later, happiness ensued when I ate Pinky and Blinky once again. Where did all those quarters go?!?

Check out the screenshot:

You can also organize your widgets in a new way. This appears to be missing my RSS feeds so they must be edited/removed the same way. Now the question is, when will Google charge to get your application or web site listed in this new widget list?
