John Carmack from id Software had a short interview over the phone to talk about Doom Resurrection, but apperently he was into something totally different.John Carmack spoke to Multiplayer today, and they where suppose to interview him about Doom Resurrection, but he was way to excited and couldn't help himself talking about the future of their iPhone projects, here is what he said:
He also spoke of their other projects on iPhone with games as Wolfenstien RPG and Doom 2 RPG:
John Carmack seems to be very excited over id Software new projects and thrilled to experiment with the iPhone platform, we'll see what the future brings now when Carmack has set his mind into this.
"There’s no doubt that we’ll go through Quake and Quake 2. I think that I can probably manage to do Quake 3 on the conventional iPhone platform, if Apple winds up addressing just a few things in their system software. When you start looking at the 3GS, Quake 3 would not be a problem at all."
He also spoke of their other projects on iPhone with games as Wolfenstien RPG and Doom 2 RPG:
"We’ve got our 3 major prongs, with the classic games Wolf 3D Classic, Doom Classic. We have the from scratch games, that ‘DOOM Resurrection’ is the first of, and we’ll probably have something RAGE-themed there.
Then we’ve also got our traditional mobile games, starting with Wolfenstein RPG, which is already done and in the can, but EA thought everyone was going to be confused about Wolfenstein RPG and Wolfenstein 3D Classic. They’re sitting on that for a while and I don’t know when they’re gonna get that out.
Then the expectation is that the id Mobile team will be doing the DOOM 2 RPG for the iPhone after the finish with the Java and Brew versions. I expect we’ll have an iPhone project every two to three months over the next year."

The only problem is how the fuck would you play? It's not like you can attach a keyboard and mouse to your iPhone.
