Unity Coming to Apple iPhone

iPO Scoop - Unity Coming to Apple iPhone

by , 1:45 PM EDT, March 31st, 2008

Unity Technologies announced on Monday that they will be supporting game development for the Apple iPhone. Unity is a 3D game development tool provider for the desktop and the Web.

The Unity engine is the core technology that facilitates visually rich, engaging 3D game play, whether it's on a traditional desktop, or on the Web at major gaming sites like shockwave.com, or now on the world's leading mobile device - the iPhone, Unity said.

"With iPhone support, Unity is poised to become the single source for game developers who want to create best-of-breed, 3D-quality games that can be easily and quickly ported to all platforms, including consoles, devices, PC/Mac, and now, the iPhone," said David Helgason, CEO of Unity Technologies. "Specifically, Unity's support of iPhone addresses the developer's need to create more and better mobile/portable games that support the consumers 'on-the-go' lifestyle."

An e-mail link, iphone@unity3d.com has been set up for developers who want to join Unity's iPhone beta program.
