id Software’s John Carmack has recently confirmed that the gaming company’s legendary title, Orcs & Elves, is in development for the iPhone. Not much is known at this stage, except that we’ll see the game hitting the AppStore near the end of the year — actually, Carmack said he’ll start serious work on the game before year’s end, and since we think he’s a smart guy, it wouldn’t take too long after he’s involved.
Moreover, we’ve heard Orcs & Elves for iPhone will be based on the Nintendo DS version of the game, but with updated graphics and new content. In addition and as expected, the game controls will be changed to reflect the “touch reality” of the iPhone and iPod Touch.
The sad news is that we have to wait for at least few more months. The reason for this is apparent lack of personnel within id Software, and the development itself had begun later than expected. Hopefully, once released, it will be a well worth waited titled. Can’t wait.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
