As long as a game design is still fun (Scrabble, Solitaire, Bridge, Chess, Mah Jong come to mind), its technology platform is mostly irrelevant. Gabe Jason:

This is going for a different market. The iphone seems to cater to the folks that want and can afford a smart phone but don't want to carry their PSP or DS. I don't think this game will be obsolete because there is nothing to load. Loading software is always a gap that is difficult to persuade users to jump. Shareware developers have been battling it for years trying to get folks to try their demo. This game just needs you to surf to teh site. It's not going to be the hardware or the name of the company pushing the hardware that will give the iphone traction but the developers and the games on it. I remain skeptical of the iphone as a game platform. @6 – I’m not sure this is competing with the wii as it’s a console. This is going for a different market.
