Freeverse is in mid-development of four games for release when the SDK becomes available. I am sure that Freeverse is only one of very many other companies that have been working on games, apps and widgets for these amazing devices and have been waiting for the release of said development kit.
Here is what Freeverse had to say about all of this:
Flick Sports Games for the iPhone: A First Peek
Here at Freeverse, we’ve always loved Apple technologies and have had a blast incorporating them into our games wherever possible… from Apple Speech Recognition in Hearts Deluxe way back in 1994, to iChat integration in the more recent Big Bang Board Games.
Now, Apple is opening up the iPhone and iPod Touch to developers and we are beyond excited!
Everyone at Freeverse is in love with their iPhones, and we’ve got some terrific ideas for new games and applications. Some ideas we’re keeping under wraps for a while, but a few we really just couldn’t wait to share.

Flick Sports™:
Using the iPhone’s unique flick/pinch feature, we’re working on Golf, Bowling, Soccer, and Baseball (to start). Fun, colorful and quick, these will be ideal games for a modern mobile platform.
Flick Sports: Moto Racing:
Ah, the wind in your hair, the bugs in your teeth and the open road stretching out in front of you! Using the iPhone’s cool accelerometer, (you know, that doohickey that knows when your iPhone is sideways or not), you can steer your motorcycle to victory in this wild racing game. Awesome characters and a touch of humor, its a Freeverse game after all, will add to the fun.
Stay tuned for iPhone / iPod news from Freeverse. – Did I mention we’re excited?
Freeverse, we’re just as – if not more – excited than you are! As I read this I become more and more anxious for the release of this afternoon’s SDK!

I’m so excited for this. Even those were mock ups or prototypes they looked amazing. One thing I hate is it could look like fun and when you buy it its no good. Could there be previews to them? Also while there be updates like in installer.app or something like when a new version of let’s say freeverse bowling update for $1.00 since you already bought it once. Well I guess no one knows, I will just have to wait.
P.S. I hope some are free!

Yea, I wonder if there will be a demo or something like that, or if refunds will be possible – haha… Try it out before you buy it – would be an excellent feature, but highly doubt anything of that sort will be available to us, unfortunately. You can’t always get what you want.
There will be tons of videos on YouTube though, so don’t worry about it.
