PlayHaven opens its fan community for games platform for iPhone developers

Online universe of fan communities for games PlayHaven is “going iPhone” by opening up its platform to the iPhone developers. As a result, interested individuals and companies which make iPhone games can instantly establish a community presence online and in-game for free. This translates into generating some buzz for the games, as users will get the option to share, gather and interact with other members of the community.
The process seems easy (though I haven’t tried it myself) and it should apparently take only a minute or so to claim your community and integrate various social features into an iPhone app.
Around 20 games have already integrated PlayHaven’s capabilities — including Minigore, Geared, I Dig It, The Quest, Mouse House 2, SnowFerno, iSamurai, BobbleSurfer, ZombieSmash!, Transylvania, Genius Defense Force, Gang Street Wars, Hopple, Tipoli, Influence, Above and Cell War, to name just a few.
Sounds cool and I’m hoping PlayHaven will also allow other platform developers to use the same features. Someone said Android? Symbian? 
Hi Dusan,
Thanks for the post. Though we are currently focusing on the iPhone right now, we definitely have the other platforms on our road map!
The great thing about our platform is we are basically delivering a web app inside the game itself. There’s no SDK required at all, so porting to other platform is fairly simple. Any thoughts on which one you’d like to see next?
