Spore … on the iPhone?
That’s right folks — during Apple’s announcement about iPhone roadmap and enterprise features there was a glimpse of something completely unexpected. A couple of developers from EA had already put together part of Spore for the iPhone. Can’t wait for the ultimate time waster!
Bad news, no Spore till 2008

EA sends out 3-D models of all creatures made in the E3 booth

Signs of deliveries are popping up all over as well, so it’s pretty safe to assume that EA is trying to send these out to everyone who had the luxury of using the creature editor at E3.
Rewards come to those who wait.
