Farmville for iPhone available

Facebook farmers with iPhones and iPod Touches, your wait is finally over. Zynga -- the maker of incredibly addictive and lucrative, Flash-based Facebook games such as Farmville -- has released the much anticipated iPhone version of Farmville. You might remember that the title was touted at the recent WWDC keynote speech, along with the iPhone 4 announcement.

The game features everything you'd expect from the iPhone version of the game, minus the use of Adobe Flash, of course. It even features push notifications for certain events, much like the similar game We Rule. Also like We Rule, Farmville is free to purchase, with in-app goodies fetching prices anywhere from cheap to absurd.

If you were one of those who left Facebook but sometimes miss your beloved Farmville fix, hold onto your hats; you still need a Facebook login to play.

Farm Story is a much better IPhone farm app.

Considering that it is Zynga and that they hire their programmers from the Monkey House at the zoo, I'm sure that it will have more glitches than anything known to man.

Pass. Anything remotely related to Facebook goes into the ignore part of my brain. It is infuriating how many news/blog sites are offering me the 'great honor' of logging in with Facebook. But I digress...

Actually yes, I would still like the option to have flash.
There are still several sites I come across everyday that need flash to display usually video content.
I'm also running across more and more YouTube video that won't play on the iPhone. I'm not sure why but it's all quite annoying and some of the reasons I didn't buy the iPhone 4.

Just downloaded it on my 3G S and it has crashed several times, even after restarting my phone. I never played it on facebook but it seems like something I could like, if only it wouldn't crash. I guess it is worth noting that it started back up where I left off, so at least that's a plus.

Oddly, it seems less polished than We Rule... and We Rule is the current undisputed ruler of phone MMO server outages.
