At the New York Comic Convention, news was released that Bethesda Softworks is currently working on a game for the iPhone.  Todd Howard, who served as executive producer for Fallout 3, was there to confirm the news, but declined to comment further.

Naturally, no other details are known, but many wonder if the game falls under Bethesda properties like the recently revived Fallout or their famous The Elder Scrolls series.

The news is certainly good for Apple, whose iPhone and similar iPod Touch have  been pushing their way into the gaming market.  The device already has many casual games available, but has the capability to present more to gamers.  Big name developers like Square Enix (who have released a Final Fantasy Tactics spin-off Crystal Defenders to the device) and now Bethesda paying attention to the iPhone certainly lends it some credibility.
