Just in time for Holiday travel, EA has released two new titles for 5th gen iPods to keep your fingers and brain occupied while the miles fly by beneath you.

iLounge's Jeremy Horwitz writes, "Based on the internationally successful Japanese grid number matching game, Sudoku is a 25.1MB download. Royal Solitaire features "10 of the most popular and well-known versions of Solitaire," including Canfield, Klondike, Peaks, Pyramid, Beleaguered Castle, Aces Up, Yukon, FreeCell, Golf, and Scorpion. A 45.6MB download, it promises to allow you to track your own statistics, and those from "other players around the world.""
Ok, so it's not Halo II but for entertainment that doesn't require you to carry yet another device around in your pocket, it'll do. Available now in the US and UK iTunes store but, for whatever strange reason not in Canada; where's the Sudoku love for the great white north?
