iPhone App Ported to Zune HD in 12 Hours [Video]

A development team claims to have ported an iPhone game to the Zune HD in 12 hours, and posted a YouTube video of the ported app this week.

Developer Foundation42 proclaimed in a tweet: “From #iPhone game to #ZuneHD game in 12 hours using #MonoTouch and #XNA”. The game, WordMonger, is a word puzzle that’s yet to be released.

The developers write of the achievement:

This is our game WordMonger that we are making for iPhone and Zune HD. We built it over the last few weeks using the new MonoTouch toolkit on the Mac. Yesterday we ported it to the Zune HD in 12 hours! We are really hoping that Microsoft can provide a way to publish third party games on the Zune app store soon.

With a bit of luck we should have the iPhone version out by thanksgiving!

You read that right: the iPhone app isn’t ready for release yet and they can’t get it into the Zune app store. Still, the feat deserves some geek cred, does it not?
