TUAW apparently surprised that the iPhone is a good gaming platform

Like the whole blogosphere has been saying for nearly a year, the iPhone is a great gaming platform. It could kill the Nintendo DS, and look what the DS did to the competition.

But TUAW is apparently surprised:

Next up was Travis Boatman from EA who showed an iPhone version of the eagerly-awaited game Spore (also shipping for Macs later this year). It’s clearly cut down from the desktop version, but as Johnson said of the dog walking on his two hind legs: “it is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all!” Considering that EA had two weeks, this suggests the iPhone has the power to be a serious gaming platform.

omg really?? ;)

That said, I am super-duper excited for Teh App Store (June, sigh).
