Farmville for iPhone

Steve Jobs just announced Farmville for iPhone at the Apple Worldwide Developer’s Conference. Apparently we will be able to play Farmville on the iPhone just as we do on Facebook and there will even be push notifications for withering crops and such. I have never played Farmville, but does this mean I should start? Is this the next Angry Birds? I can’t keep up with this stuff, but I think the one thing that this does assure is that I will be seeing more notifications about my friends’ farms on Facebook.

“More people play Zynga games than watch the season finales of Lost and 24,” says the Zynga CEO. Apparently now there are something like 70 million active users for Zynga games now. That is substantial.
