He obviously has no interest in it (shocking, I know :P). Shame really, it's quite a powerful piece of hardware as has already been shown by the demos, like the Resident Evil one:

look at 0:46 its got square fingers in video

Actually having character models with animations is already a plus on the UE on iPhone. Everything they've shown so far is just environements with not a lot going on (well, nothing actually). The demos for 3DS have far more occuring and show off more advanced effects than the iPhone engine.

About the only plus point of the iPhone UE is that it appears the texture res is slightly higher. But then, as I said before, nothing is actually happening in these tech demos. It's like when Nvidia release a demo of the human head; all the GPU power is used in creating a realistic human head and isn't at all representative of what's actually possible in a full retail game where power needs to be used on multiple assets and effects.
