Should iPhone/Touch Games be evaluated by the ESRB?

I think it should be optional.
After all, not all computer games go through the ESRB.
And what is the difference between Flash games and many iPhone app games (esp. freeware)?
(Other than the fact that Steve Jobs thinks Flash is evil-incarnate?)

If they're PC games that are carried at retail, they do.

The difference between an iPhone OS game and freeware/flash games is that one's on a closed platform, the other isn't.  Honestly, I'm a little surprised Apple's been able to skirt the ESRB this long...
