Rumored BVE on iOS

A new rendering system would have to be created, and so will a way to install routes/trains.  There isn't a file manager on the iPod Touch devices so thats an obstacle that must be overcome when making it.  There are plane simulators for the iPod Touch, and they utilize the accelerometer for steering.

On a train, there's really only a need for about 4 buttons, one to power up and another to brake, and one for Forward and Reverse.  Safety systems and the other controls would have to be thought up of as well, but if there are FPS and Plane Sims on the iPod Touch, then there certainly can be a Train Simulator for it.  The first person shooters have alot of controls on screen, but it is playable.

I'm just wondering why this is a BVE project as opposed to a OpenBVE project, it shows that the user who made that post forgot, or is screwing with people.  It would be odd for mackoy to come out with a mobile version by surprise.

I find this to be very odd and strange almost like a joke
But if it can be done for mobile phones like Droid/iOS/Blackberry and hope its stable.
