      Cue a flood of hot, molten iPhone juicings. My Macbook can't even run that thing without scorching the desk. I'd love the chance to finally get to play it but I worry how much strain it's gonna put my expensive gadgets under.

      I wonder if it will be possible to load worlds that have been created on the PC. The controls might be a bit fiddly, but I'm still looking forward to it.

      Well they mention that "the iOS title won't benefit from the same updates as the home computer version," so it's entirely possible/probable that we're getting a watered-down version. Just as long as survival mode is kept intact, I couldn't be happier.

      Yeah, but I wonder how much of that horsepower is needed because of Java. What possessed Notch to code it in Java?

      I get paranoid way too easily about overheating. I think Macbooks shut down at 110 degrees or something, but I'm used to it being around 40 so even if it enters the 50s I'm suddenly wondering why it's being pushed.

      So tell me... for a bottom-of-the-range, regular ol' Macbook, using smcFanControl to speed the fan up to 4000 RPM... is 65-70 degrees alright for playing Minecraft at? That seems to be where it stops so if I can convince myself not to worry I might be able to get into the game at last.

      As long as this has survival in it, I'm in. If it's only building... I may not get it.

      How would we know it was coming solely because of all the clones? :p

      Just a guess. Though they might have thought to do it if people were trying to clone it. Iphone/ ipod is a pretty big platform. Might've just thought to do it because minecrafted was pretty good while it was briefly out. Just a guess though

      I hope that it can run on a 2nd generation iPod Touch.... But I highly doubt it.

      Depends on if they have settings like they do in the desktop version like; rendering distance and and fast/fancy graphics.

      I hope it'll run on a 2nd gen too, that just means my 4th gen can run it with even less effort.
