(CNN) --The new iPhone with its glassy touch screen, powerful graphics, crisp sound and tilt feature, the iPhone is more than a smart phone for some users -- it's a portable entertainment system. Steve Demeter, developer of "trism" demonstrates his game via webcast to CNN.com's Nicole Lapin. Demeter is a former ATM software designer for a large bank, created "Trism" in his spare time. He sold it and pitched it to Apple last spring. Demeter, 29, who lives in the California's San Francisco Bay area. "I'm very honored that so many people would enjoy my game. I get e-mails from 50-year-old ladies who say, "I don't play games, but I love Trism.' That's the coolest thing."The company made the game available for download with the July launch of its App Store, an online provider of applications for its iPods and iPhones. The game is priced at $5, "Trism" earned Demeter $250,000 in profits the first two months.
App Store and iPhone have helped democratize game development by opening the field to any software coder with talent and a clever idea, industry observers say, because it can take million of dollars and a lot of game developers to create a video game.
