Cuttlefish Industries announced the upcoming release of the Cuttlefish Engine, a cross-platform game engine and development platform for Apple's iPhone, T-Mobile's G1, and BlackBerry mobile devices.

Using Cuttlefish's visual designer and editor functionality, developers will be able to build a complete mobile game and instantly view its simulated performance on any of the three supported devices.

Once a game's cross-platform performance and compatibility has been verified, the Cuttlefish Engine may then generate a game package ready to upload to Apple's App Store and the Android Marketplace.

The Cuttlefish Engine will be available for PC and Mac platforms. No release date for the engine or its visual designer component has yet been announced.
