The Sims 3 will be available for the iPhone and iPod touch soon. But, if you want to get a feel for what it might be like, you can find a free…

SimSampler 1.0.26 (iTunes App Store)

…from EA Mobile. Funny thing though… The app has 6961 customer ratings with an average rating of 2 stars (out of 5). 56% of the ratings give it just 1 star. Only 20% of the ratings are in the 4 and 5 star range. My guess is that many people were expecting more than a promotional piece. We’ll have to wait and see how the real thing (The Sims 3) rates after its release.
