Farmville for iPhone now available

Farmville for iPhone is now available as a free download on the iTunes Store. Farmville is considered the most popular game on the web, and one of the most popular games in the world, with an estimated 70 million monthly users.

The basis of the game is that you have a virtual farm that you plow, plant, and harvest farm goods, and those that play the game say it is very addictive. Bringing Farmville as an app to the iPhone will certainly serve this addiction, I have several friends who are absolutely thrilled with the fact they can now literally play the game constantly since it’ll be in their pockets and not just on Facebook.

Of course you’ll be able to run Farmville on your iPod touch or even iPad if you just can’t get enough of the game. The fact that it’s on the iPhone is pretty significant though because prior web based versions ran in Flash which made it impossible to bring to the iPhone platform.

You can get Farmville on the iPhone through the iTunes Store [iTunes Store link] if you’re interested, or just launch your iPhone/iPod touch and head into the App Store, where you’ll find it.
