Pocket Edition

Minecraft Pocket Edition is the mobile version of Minecraft intended for Android and iOS devices, initially launching exclusively for the Android Market for $6.92 on August 16, 2011, along with a free demo version.

Objective and Gameplay
The objective of the game remains the same as its original PC and Xbox counterparts, where players can build virtual realities in a sandbox-like environment.

The gameplay of the pocket edition is akin to that of the Creative gamemode, with minor differences such as having several of the blocks from the Beta version of the game. A video of an early prototype was released on Twitter, showing the game on the Xperia PLAY.

Trivia

 * Hidden inside the game files, textures for a Camera can be found, possibly hinting to the release of a camera item.
