Elite 2's graphics and technology is about iPhone and iPod Touch level now, as well as several other mobile platforms. Frontier should consider porting Elite 2 to iPhone and other platform. At the time it was ported to PC/ Atari ST/ Amiga. I don't imagine it would take too much for them to port it over.
Elite / Frontier Elite 2 - iPhone

- Start date
There could be some good news on this front,
There seems as if there could be a Amiga emulator coming for Iphone.

Good grief, an iPhone running Amiga games! I remember when the Amiga was the latest top dog, it made the ST look like an ugly, slow brick. Compared to the previous 8-bit stuff like C64's and Spectrums it was awesome. Now it's running on a mobile phone. I dont know whether to laugh or cry.
Elite on iPhone, not emulated
I would LOVE to see Elite (the original Archimedes version) coded specifically for iPhone/iPad. I think a brilliant twist would be to have it run at higher res on iPad and have iPhone/touch act as a controller - this would make flight a lot more immersive.
I'd love to code this - if no-one else has already started!

Knock yourself out, we'd love to see it too. I'm personally waiting for the iPad v2.0 before I lash out that much money on one, I want the webcam and other toys it's missing. Like the name too, I must go read those books again.
happily there are some chaps working on a DOSBox emulator for Android - Frontier for Android anyone?

iPhone is made of latest technology. It was introduce on January 9 2007.
It has feature like portable media player, e-mail, web browsing, Wi-Fi,
multi touch screen and GPS , social networking.

Agreed! Currently, in the year of 2015, we have Tomb Raider 1 and 2 on the App Store, along with GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas...
...so it would be AMAZING for Frontier Elite II to crop up on the App Store! A whole galaxy in your pocket
I would've loved to see Elite 1, 2 & 3 on the Wii's virtual console (which would go well with the Lost Winds games being on the Wii store) - but I guess it's a little late for that now.
Not to grave-dig too much, but the best handheld Elite I've ever played is this one:
And it's absolutely wonderful.

I think it would be nice. I've never played Elite 2 but would like to give it a shot.
