I think that scenario would work out if: - Notch is not too busy. At least not too busy to temporarily shift his focus to supporting an iPhone version. - He was disappointed that the game wasn't growing fast enough, not being on the iPhone. - He's delighted to see other folks cloning his game. - He doesn't want to wait a few weeks for @minecraftapp to release theirs. - He's happy to do what he needs to in order to make an international business transaction work out. - He didn't really have the money or game industry connections to contract with someone to make a really good iPhone version anyway. So I'm thinking that would require a lot of luck.
