BejeweledEveryone likes games right?  If not, then the overwhelming support of games on the iPhone platform is a bit misguided.  Well, if you cannot wait until the aplications start flowing and iPhone 2.0 hits, then here is a little jewel to help pass your time.

Game producer and publisher PopCap games has created a version of the fantastically popular bejeweled for the iPhone.  The iPhone version looks, and sounds like any other version, and it plays pretty well too.

If you have not played Bejeweled, the premise is simple.  It is your job to jostle, shift, or otherwise move around jeweled tiles so that you are capable of lining three or more of them up.  When you do, they will disappear, and new tiles will drop into place.  The new tiles shifting might very well cause a chain reaction.

What I like about the iPhone version of Bejeweled is the touch aspect.  When I played this on another phone, it was very complicated because I had to use the dial-pad to manipulate a cursor around and then select jewels.  Playing it by touch is mighty handy (pun intended).

To load Bejeweled, point your browser here.  It can take a minute or so to load via EDGE, but it loads very quickly over WiFi. Give it a shot.  It might just curb your gaming cravings until something else comes along.

    I wonder if development on the web apps will die now that the sdk is released? Will be interesting to see if people still continue to create stuff like this now that they can make a little money selling apps on the store.
