aeTIos, I think your post is epic for one or another reason :P

As DJ_O said, a video would be nice.

^ Pretty much agree.
If you guys are going to post project ideas, give descriptions, link to wikipedia pages, or provide videos (or all of theses). Chances are some people won't have a clue what you are talking about. Not everyone is going to have an Ipod/phone, XBOX, PS3, or whatever platform the program was originally developed for. ;)

*Edit* The official link you provided is nice, but it doesn't reveal much about the program.

Subtitles:
"Ehm. Screenhots? Do you have any ideas on how to do this?"
"[ trying to tell you that you didnt really say anything]"
"[/ sorry for backseat moderating this]"

So yeah, that game looks pretty dam epic O.o

And I agree with what AoC said.

I absolutely LOVE this game, but I don't really see a point with porting it, seeing as me and all my other friends have our iPods with us wherever we go, but maybe for in-school "Tiny Tower-ing" this would be nice.

I can give you two reasons:
- Port it for people who don't own an iDevice and don't plan on wasting money on it
- Show people how iDevices' potential is unused by porting their games to calculators
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

AeTIos' posts could be formulated a bit difference because it's a bit rude in my opinion.

Is the game available on Android? Some android phones are available for $59.99 (but again I saw them at a Zellers store which is midway through liquidation)

Maybe add exclusive features to make it stand from the original?

Looks like it doesn't only exist for iOS-devices. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobage.ww.a560.tinytower_android&hl=en
