There seems to be a version for the iPad now. Not sure if it’s official - the Minecraft web site doesn’t mention it.

Yeah it is, there's been some publicity around it. It's the same version that came out for Android a couple of months ago. No connecting to online servers and no creeps :(.

It's a universal app so will work on iPhone and iPad.

It's more like the free "classic" desktop version. To my mind, more a proof of concept than a fully grown game.

I played the Android version for a bit, but the maps are small and there's no caverns when you dig down. As Jon said, there's also no mobs. It does have a multi-player mode, but it's only p2p with other mobiles.

It does prove that game is playable on a touch-screen though; the interface is actually quite good and the graphics silky smooth (in a Lego kinda way).

It's a bit pants on phones/ndroid tabs, not worth it to me CF the full PC version - which is now out of beta!
