The Apple iPhone comes bundled with a bunch of innovative features that essentially turns it into an iPocket-Mac. Poker sites will surely consider developing an iPhone compatible poker client, but it’s possible that some Mac poker rooms will already work with the iPhone.
At the very least you should be able to run a web browser poker site without additional installations or development. After all the iPhone uses safari, which is already compatible with a few poker sites, like Party Poker and Pacific Poker. There will also be plenty of computer simulated poker games for the iphone.
Downloadable poker rooms will be possible for the iPhone to, but it probably won’t be as easy as downloading your favorite mac poker room and playing online. This will either require special development from a poker site or a 3rd party program to make the installation possible.
In fact, Scenario Poker, the #1 poker widget for Mac OS X has been redesigned specifically for the iPhone’s touch screen.
so the picture above is fulltilt poker running on the iphone. Is this possible now or is it just a photoshop tease?
It’s just a photoshop tease. So far there aren’t any real money poker sites with iphone software. I’ll ask around to see if any of them are working on it.
Any new info on having Full Tilt Poker available for the iPhone?
Hey DockLaw. I just sent an email to their developers. I’ll post their reply here when I get it.
Just a quick update to say there’s no update:
“Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support. We sincerely apologize for the delay. We are currently receiving a large number of emails and are responding to each one as quickly as possible.”
don’t you think the EDGE network is a little slow to support live poker games? when connected to wifi i can see it being quite feasible.. it would be quite frustrating playing over EDGE i believe, even when I am connected on wifi others will be connected via EDGE, timing out and slowing the play. i’m sure it’s in the works and i’ll be interested to see how well it performs over EDGE.
I think it would work okay on EDGE as long as you are not moving and switching cells (like in a car). EDGE isn’t much slower than dialup, and I have had no issues playing Poker Stars on dialup when travelling. The web based ones may be a bit slower thna a client based game though.
Our software was originally created to run on Mac. We were the first Mac compatible download and are still the only immersive 3D poker client for the Mac. We are trying to find a contact at Apple who would be able to help us port the software to the iPhone. If anyone has thoughts on this I would love to hear from you.
cheers

It won’t take long before the first big pokerroom will make online poker on the iPhone. Mostly the succes of the iPhone itself will make mobile poker available top priority… Or not.
Due to my connections higher up the ladder I’ll put some energy in the item to see what the actual status is!
