Gameloft has announced
plans to introduce over 15 iPhone/iPod touch games by the end of 2008. The mobile
gaming company's developers have already begun using Apple's
newly-released beta iPhone
SDK. It's a natural fit, as the company already produces games for the iPod.

"The iPhone gaming environment opens a new era in mobile gaming and is
exactly what we've been waiting for," said Michel Guillemot, president
of Gameloft. "The Apple iPhone has changed the way consumers perceive and
interact with their mobile phones, and the release of the SDK is a tremendous
opportunity for Gameloft to apply its creative and innovative approach to mobile
gaming."

Apple has won major support from various games developers, with Electronic
Arts, ID Software,
Sega
and Freeverse already
engaged in producing titles using the new SDK.
