Finally, Bejeweled hits iPhone
Added on 2007-07-30 11:27:00
by Randall Bennett

It's the day iPhone users have been waiting for since the June 29th launch, Bejeweled is finally available for the iPhone. Popcap did a good job of redirecting the iPhone directly to Bejeweled and the interface looks really well done. You'd better enjoy bejeweled in Portrait mode, because Landscape makes the game slow down quite a bit. Hit PopCap.com on your iPhone's web browser and start enjoying the Yoshi's Cookie ripoff in all of its glory. No word yet on when Tetris will come to the iPhone to ruin Bejeweled's day, but we're hoping Apple's prior agreement with EA for iPod games comes to the iPhone.
