Dominion in 2012 and Dominion for iOS?

2012 is already shaping up on the Dominion front. 3 print releases and a digital release have been announced, along with a timeline for them all.
Dominion (Digital Release) – First Quarter 2012
Rio Grande has stated they’ll be releasing a digital version of Dominion early this year. No word has been said if it’ll be an iOS version, browser playable version, or a PC/Mac application.
Dominion: Base Cards (Small Expansion) — March 2012
A set of the base cards for Dominion (treasure, victory, and curse) will be released to replace cards from Dominion, Dominion Intrigue, or for use with expansions that don’t include them.
The next two releases are expansions for the game. 1 large, and one small.
Dominion: Dark Ages (Large Expansion) – August 2012 at GenCon
Dominion: Guilds (Small Expansion) – Late Spring 2013
Now for another bit of interesting news. It seems a version of Dominion has popped up on the iPhone and iPad. Dominion by Donald X. Vaccarino is put out by Hammer Technology, and is in no way shape or form an official Rio Grande version of the game. In fact, while you can play Dominion on your iOS device, it’s not very polished at all. The app is free, but in truth, I’d recommend waiting until Rio Grande comes out with an official version, as I don’t even know how long this will remain on the app store. The app seems to rip the box art, card art, etc… straight from the game. Anyone remember what happened with Viking Lords?

The Hammer app is not very polished? In what way? I think it works great for what it is. And for the record, permission was granted for it to be created by Jay from Rio Grande, at least until the official app is released.
The app is not polished? Good lord what are you guys smoking? It’s nearly perfect! In fact I’m calling it right here: the “official” version will be inferrior. Bank it.
Dear sir, were you legally impaired when trying the app? That adaptation is spot on, the AI is pretty decent too, I can not think how an “official” app could top it other than it needs the expansions. Could be the best strategy game translation I have played. Unless the “official” one pays me to use it and comes with a free backrub, the IOS one has it hands down. Awesome app and awesome game.
