EA was able to put up the "cell-stage-only version" of the "iPod Spore" on iTunes yesterday. As you might have expected, MTV Multiplayer thinks the mobile version of the game is boring.

They note that the Creature Creator for Spore lets you create whatever you want, but the iPod version limits you. Since they know what Spore is already capable of, they feel that the iPod version is disappointing.

Look out for the full version of Spore on September 7th.

Unfortunately, the Sporepedia option isn’t possible yet. iPod “Spore” points users to EA’s mobile website, which still features a “coming soon” tag. The idea is you’ll register with EA and gain the ability to download user-made creatures to your own iPod. Their unique, customized characteristics are deduced with a “DNA Code.”

I’d previously been told such a feature would not be possible with the iPhone version. Strange, considering the old iPod product line has no Internet connection. Once the website is functional, I’ll let you all know how the feature works.
