In news that is sure to excite certain members of Team TSA to the point where they explode in a gush of iDevice / Indie Gaming joy, developer Markus Persson has revealed that Minecraft is to be ported to the iPhone and iPad.
Markus, founder of Mojang (the Swedish developer of Minecraft), has announced that the official port is being handled by a new recruit to the Mojang team: Aron Neiminen.
The game will not receive all the updates the PC version receives, only those that ‘make sense’ for the new touch screen versions. No release date has been given but expect the title sometime this year.

Android after please! This is cracking news anyway. May just ask for an Itouch for this Christmas just in case.
Also hoping for some steam cloud kinda thing linking logins so you can play the same stuff on either device. Also online compatibility would be fantastic. Just gotta wait for the full thing on PC now!

…oh, bugger me senseless. I’ll count myself into the gushing group (though I get the feeling you did that already). Minecraft is quite literally my favourite game ever. I’ve had it for 6 months or so and have played hours of it every week since. Just…
I have requested an iPad version from Notch via Twitter. And PS3. And 360. This news makes me happy.
