PopCap Games released a free web-based version of Bejeweled for Apple's iPhone, available via the Safari browser. Take note, this is not a downloadable game, thanks to Apple's insistence on web-based third party apps, so the game actually plays inside the phone's browser. GameDaily spoke with PopCap's Greg Canessa about the project and details of the web-based format here.We've seen what World of Warcraft looks like on the iPhone – and there are already a good deal of web-based iPhone games out there – but Bejeweled is arguably the first polished iPhone-"native" game out there. With the handheld's accelerometer and multi-touch display, we'd love to see what sort of games developers could develop using an actual SDK. Until then, we'll settle for web-based Bejeweled (which you can test out using Safari by going here).

ah, Bejeweled is such a good game IMO. If only I had the iPhone...

Not too bad. Works pretty well, but I just played 2 games and ran out of moves both times before even finishing the first level. Timed mode wouldn't work so well in this instance, but just playing a normal game is just as fun as the original (without sound or flashy graphics).

Bejewelled, or Zoo Keeper as it's called on the DS is one of my favorite and most addictive puzzle games. Nice to see they put one out for the iPhone. Sadly I don't have an iPhone.. but I do have Zoo Keeper on my DS. Same thing. Just as addictive.

I miss Crystal Quest, the first color mac game I remember. I'd be happy if it simply made it to OS X.

also sad because apple stores have no shortness of iphones. lets cry for those idiots who spent 1,500 on ebay for one of these.
