It appears that as of 10PM-ish Central time, Snoodio is no longer available from the Apple App store. Snoodio is an iPhone puzzle game based on Snood. The website is also gone. It appears to just be a squatting site. What happened? If I had to guess, I'd say there was some problem with licensing. Perhaps the Snoodio people didn't have the permission of whoever owns Snood. Maybe it will just come back... we'll see.
Still developing...
11:00PM: I just noticed that the @snoodio account on twitter is "suspended". That's the word tweetie used, don't know if that's actually the case.
11:15PM: Yeah, I don't have anything better to do. It looks like the people from Snood (the original) have been tweeting/facebooking about making an iPhone app. Coincidence? I think not.

There are a couple other Snood-like games in the App Store that weren't infringing on the Snood brand like Snoodio was.
Bubble Town, Snoozle, and Sproing all have similar concepts.
Disclosure: I'm the developer of Sproing and found this site while trying to figure out what happened to one of my competitors.
Where did you see that the Snood guys were considering a native iPhone version?
They mentioned it in their twitter feed (which I suspect is just linked to their facebook status).
Ah, I see it. Interesting. They should have done it a long time ago.
Yeah, using a name that was so close to the original was playing with fire, and they got burned...
Disclosure: I've got Frozen Bubble in the appstore... http://frozenbubble.weebly.com/
