It's official, Minecraft is headed to an iOS device near you later this year. The new recruit to the Minecraft team, Aron Neiminen, is hard at work on the port of the game that is still very much a beta in most every way, shape, and form.
Pricing and exact dates of availability are not yet known. The release may or may not be affected by constant vacations.
Persson said that the iOS edition will not receive every update that the original browser and download version gets, but rather will be granted those features that "make sense" for the touch-screen platform.
The game has received numerous unofficial Minecraft releases on iPhone and iPad, but this is the first official iOS release from the Mojang team.
