I think he said that on the (written) interview to make it seem more dramatic. More than likely, he was expecting the question and was probably typing away to Lorne either before the audio interview started, or even during the interview and before the mention of new projects arose.
The audio coming out of the iPhone at that point was probably just audio files he has, or even a hint at Gamespeak as a free app for the iPhone.

Good speculation though! I mean, there's a good chance that Oddworld games made by Just Add Water will be very compatible with the iPhone (just look at Gravity Crash... almost looks specifically made for handheld devices), but I just don't think an Oddworld game for iPhone will be their big announcement (not that you were saying it was).

I do hope I'm right about a free Gamespeak app though. If anything is going to remind people about the Oddworld games and get awareness up, it's Gamespeak.
