Apple's First iPhone Game in Over a Decade Stars Warren BuffettThink of it as 'Paperboy' for billionaires.

Apple doesn't do gags by half-measures, apparently. Tim Cook made anappearanceat Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting where he jokingly suggested in a short film that Warren Buffett could have a newspaper-tossing iPhone game, but it turns out that this wasn't just empty banter -- the game is real. Apple hasreleasedaWarren Buffett's Paper Wizardtitle for iPhones that has you tossing papers (much like Buffett did as a child) to earn "Warren Bucks" based on your delivery skills. Think of it as a first-person, touchscreenPaperboyfor would-be billlionaires.

The title is credited to "Wildlife Designs" in the App Store, but the splash screen and the game's terms make it clear that Apple is directly responsible.

That makes the app something of a milestone. AsMacRumorsnoted, it's the first game Apple has releasedsince 2008, when it created an iPhone-friendly version of its iPod titleTexas Hold'em. No, this doesn't herald a return to regular in-house game development at Apple. However, it does show that Apple is willing to commit to the bit -- even if knows it's not about to produce a mobile gaming classic in the process.
