Today's EA Summer Showcase event revealed quite an exciting development in the world of EA and Playfish's mobile offerings. In addition to Pet Society: Vacation, which we brought you an in-depth preview of at E3: 2011, the company will also be releasing a Restaurant City game on iOS this summer.
Unfortunately, we don't really know much about this Restaurant City offering. Inside Social Games reports that the game will be an entirely new experience, apparently independent of our Facebook restaurants, without any actual connection. Anything beyond that is still a bit unknown, other than the fact that Facebook Connect will be integrated somehow (if we're guessing, it would be through wall posts alerting your friends to your progress).
We've reached out to both EA and Playfish for comment, and will update this space as we know more.
What do you think of the idea of playing a Restaurant City on your iPhone or iPad? What do you think the game will entail, if it's not directly connected to our Facebook restaurants?

Get schooled in Scrabble on Facebook, iOS and Android this summer
Now your vocabulary can be dwarfed by, well, everyone. Scrabble by EA has been on iPhone and Facebook for some time, but as two separate experiences. Now, as VentureBeat reports, players from either game can compete against one another in real time, thanks to some Internet alchemy that EA likely wouldn't dare reveal. (Alright, it's probably just a form of Facebook Connect.)
Revealed at EA's Summer Showcase in San Francisco, Scrabble is headed to Android phones next week, meaning word nerds can compete in real time across iOS, Android and Facebook. The company also revealed that Restaurant City is coming to iOS devices as well.
Another interesting bit that EA unveiled is real-time multiplayer in FIFA 2012 for iOS using two iPhones as controllers and an iPad as the game screen. You know, for when gaming on a single expensive device just isn't enough. Check out the video below to see how Scrabble works across platforms in real time.
