wat, wat?watToo add to this nintendo planned on having an eshop app for iOS devices and most likely android devices too.
I'm sure you could find it in one of the interviews with Iwata in the past year or even week.
I've been reading to many to keep track of which day and who asked who but yeah Iwata or whoever is in chrge of that sector answered as such.
May have been in this one, I can't recall why I saved it to favorites other than the fact I haven't finished it yet.

EDIT: Okay just realized where you got confused. They don't plan on releasing the games on the eshop app for you to play on your ipod, the iOS version will be an exact replica, minus 3ds exclusives, and only allow for management of data, downloads, and purchases. The 3ds version doesn't let you play games and neither will the iOS version.
