FarmVille coming to iPhone

By | June 7, 2010, 10:27am PDT

Summary: Did you know that there are 15 times more virtual farms than real ones? Now you can waste even more of your time with FarmVille on the iPhone.

At today’s WWDC 2010 conference, Apple announced that the wildly popular Facebook Flash game FarmVille has been ported to the iPhone. Naturally, this is a native version that does not use Adobe Flash.

FarmVille was created one year ago this month by zynga. The company estimates that there are over 30 million farms in FarmVille (compared to 2 million real farms in the US), and according to Facebook statistics there are over 19 million people who play it every day.

    Farmville is a way for people to say "I have no life so I will pretend to have one!"

    Good day to confirm this comment I would appreciate T h e b e s t o f Z D N e t d e l i v e r e d your website very nice to everyone Yes, Oracle is the only one with shared-disk architecture, but that is there advantage. It means you can add or remove nodes and the database lives on. In a shared nothing architecture, if you lose a node, you lose the system. I'm sure Oracle appreciates EMC highlighting their advantage.I also desire to signal in your RSS feeds. Thank you as soon as once again and maintain up the great operate Awesome post! Thank you very much || thanks for nice content this is really benefit to me.
