Archaeological evidence for the existence of iPhone games
Where the hell are the games for Apple’s iPhone? It’s got a nice clear screen and a touch interface much like the Nintendo DS (except you can use your finger); and it connects to the Tubes. So why can’t I play Animal Crossing on it?
There are currently no games installed on the iPhone, nor are there any in the iTunes Store.
Yet UK site Download Squad discovered something interesting while poking around in the iTunes localization strings:
/* ===== iPhone Game Item Strings ===== */
“4329.001″ = “Are you sure you want to remove the selected game from your iPhone?”;
“4329.002″ = “Are you sure you want to remove the selected games from your iPhone?”;
Well. If there aren’t going to be any iPhone games, we wouldn’t need to remove them, would we?

You mean all the times I used my finger on my DS it wasn’t actually doing anything? Could have fooled me.
