We’ve known for a little while that id Software has made it well known that they are developing for the iPhone. Unfortunately we haven’t really heard anything from them since sometime around March. John Carmack (co-founder of id) admits that he’s kicking himself for not having anything ready at launch. But don’t worry, he’s planning on bringing one of id’s existing franchises to the platform in what he calls a “graphical tour de force.”

Sure, he’s keeping quiet on just which franchise they’re working on, but I think we all know it’s going to be Doom. Somewhere in the future he also says we can expect some sort of MMO from the company, again on the iPhone. I’m not really sure what I think about playing an MMO on my iPhone, but I’ll keep an open mind. I’m just glad to hear that id is really taking the gaming potential of the iPhone seriously.

I like that developers are seeing the potential in the platform but I can’t imagine giving any serious playtime to a MMO on my iPhone when taking into consideration the battery life.
