Get Settled: first iPhone Catan screenshot, beta applications open
The official Catan site has updated with news that beta applications are now open to test out the forthcoming iPhone port of the board game (which, going off rote number of re-tweets of the original announcement, appears to be one of Offworld readers' most anticipated upcoming games), which also includes the first screenshot of the game, at right.
Developer Exozet expects testers to undergo the usual loop of feedback to and questions from the studio, but if you're willing and able, you can apply to get early access to the game via this site, where you'll need your phone's UDID (which you can get in iTunes by selecting your iPhone and finding the 'serial number' under the 'summary' tab, or by using free apps like Ad Hoc Helper [iTunes link] to email the 40 character string to yourself).

I do not think that it is entirely out of the realm of possibility that upon later inspection, the release date of iPhone SoC will be found to have coincided with a slight but quantifiable spike in the sales of auxiliary Dock Connector battery devices.

It looks disappointing. It is uglier and more amateurish than the clone they removed from the App Store. I hope they improve it a lot before launching this DOS-looking version to the store...
