ID goes mobile

ID SOFTWARE said it has formed a new division, id Mobile.

The Doom creators plan mobile versions of Quake and Wolfenstein, plus a sequel to Doom RPG, which has sold a million on mobiles already.
According to USA Today, id co-founder John Carmack reckons the time is ripe for mobiles.
"We are operating on the assumption that mobile gaming has a potential for huge growth. It's at a tipping point," he said.
"Everybody has a phone, and almost every phone is powerful enough to do good games on it."

mobile gaming, oooh please (i'm still on a 1st generation colorscreen mobile :D)
