No. The iPhone does not run Mac OS X. Though they look aesthetically similar, the codebase of the iPhone OS is completely different to that of OS X.
Off course it will appear on the iPhone and the iPad.
Apple has made changes to make it easier for developers to move back and forth between mobile and the Mac. They are even giving away the Mac developer’s SDK for only $99 just as they do for the iPhone.
The merely curious can try it for free. Skills used on one easily transfer to the other. The main difference is mobile code is built around a multitouch interface instead of a persistent mouse cursor.
The multitouch mobile device interface makes more sense for games anyway, especially on the larger and faster iPad.
looking forward to playing it on my macbook!
