World of Goo announced for iPhone
2D Boy bridges platforms.
2D Boy has confirmed an iPhone and iPod Touch adaptation of brilliant puzzle game World of Goo.
"It's not done and we don't have a release date yet," said 2D Boy on its blog (via Pocket Gamer).
"We have it running well on the iPhone 3GS, and with a little luck we hope to get it running smoothly on the 3G as well. Hopefully more news on this soon."
World of Goo built mountains of acclaim when launched on PC and WiiWare last December. The game involves using blobs of goo to make bridge structures to reach a pipe, with points awarded for blobs left unused. This is easy at first, but becomes brilliantly bonkers as obstacles begin to litter one's path.
Our World of Goo review has all the detail and depth.

Edit: I can't believe my blatant trolling has got +2. Shame on you people.

Now if they'd release a level editor, I'd pay €15 again.

The Hero has multi touch. I think all HTC Android phones have multi touch hardware but it is disabled in the OS. Don't really know why.

Maybe he bought the wrong phone for games, but as a telephone Android is already ahead of the iPhone in many features and abilities.

edit: also, darleysam's post rocks and deserves a news story all of its own.

I really like the phone and the Google App store is pretty good but just needs a little kick.
Is the HTC touch a multi touch phone I think it must be because it does the whole pinch zoom thing?

And multi-touch is expected to be officially unlocked in all Android phones with the 2.0 'Eclair' update, coming before the end of this year.

I'm waiting on the Motorola Sholes to be released as I'd like the physical keyboard. Would come in very handy if I download any of the the SNES/Megadrive emulators.

Should be interesting. Apple holds a ton of patents covering multitouch which is the reason why google didn't include multitouch support before and left it down to the hardware manufacturers to implement themselves. Depending on how they do this Apple may sue for a license fee (likely, and possibly already negotiated) or sue to have the feature removed (unlikely).

Most of Apple's multitouch patents are actually really specific, such as to do with intertia, or going 'past' content ends and having the screen 'snap' back once you do so. These things make the entire feel of OS X for iPhone more tactile and usable than a lot of competing devices (apart from those who've copied this and risk a court battle), but other manufacturers can put multitouch gestures within their OS with no major fear of reprisals.
The real clout Apple has is simply the astonishing number of apps available for the platform. And while some rivals are crowing about 'quality over quantity', Apple's handhelds have both, whereas most rivals have neither.
