I can't wait to play it on my iPhone!

Also it is available on Mac :)

People just group the Mac with the PC since there are a small number of macs compared to PC's.

The population of Macs grow as more and more people find that windows is rubbish.

Macs are over priced, old pieces of hardware. A PC can do everything a mac can at twice the speed for half the cost. I would never own a mac.

If you have an iPhone you'd know it has a very responsive touchscreen. It also has many features such as a gyro (4th gen devices only.) That woul make up for it. No offence to any android owners but minecraft on android would suck. Especially as some have poor quality touch screens and some lack features that other have, restriction cool features that the devs can implement.
3DSware would be great, but it cost much more than iPhone for a liscense.
If someone got a program which allows you to create, edit and view multiple image files I could possibly create a 3D minecraft image. If anybody wants me to I can create a cross eyed 3D image.

They have a minecraft classic type app (eden world builder) On the the iphone right now but i dont like it, The iphone is not powerful enough to have a decent draw distance and the controls are pretty bad.
By the way, certain android phones are more powerful than the iphone so it would be at least a tiny bit better for certain android phones.

I kinda had a vision that Minecraft would be available for other platforms... but the implications for such a thing would be massive and complicated-- and the licensing is the biggest issue. That's where most of the money goes into.
I think that if minecraft does go into platforms, it would most likely be the Adventure mode-- NOT survival.
