Just In: EA Confirms Spore For iPhone

Just in time for Den Den Boy's awesome iPhone SDK Event liveblogging comes this excellent announcement from EA:
Today we announced SPORE for iPhone and have other games in early stages of development.
We are using the new iPhone SDK to develop games for the iPhone OS. We're really excited about what this means for people to be able to play EA games on their iPhone or iPod touch and are thrilled to extend our relationship as a developer of games for various Apple products (Mac, iPod nano, video iPod and now iPhone & iPod touch).
That should put some spring in the steps of you iPhone and iPod Touch users who have been dismayed by the lack of iPhone games!







They won't port this to Xbox 360 but sure go for the iPhone, huh?
I'm thrilled that we have some confirmation that gaming is indeed coming to iPhone. I think many people assumed it would get there eventually, but it's nice to have some actual specific titles mentioned. Spore is a huge surprise , and just when I thought I couldn't get anymore excited for it than I already was.
Also, yay for Sega and Super Monkey Ball coming to iPhone!
And a $100 million investment? WOW. They really want to solidify their newfound foothold in the cellular/mobile computing industry.
