Earlier today gamasutra talked to Minecraft creator Markus Persson who revealed that Minecraft would be coming out on the iOS. This basically means we will see Minecraft on the Iphone and Ipad.

Persson told Gamasutra that there would be some limitations on the iOS version for example he stated that the iOS version wouldn’t be getting every update that the PC/Mac version would get, this is due to the fact that Persson wants updates to “make sense” for the touch-screen platform.

Recently hired Aron Neiminen will be developing the port to the iOS and the hope is to release the port later this year.
