Well, I'm referring more to original IP. Yes, there are ports, but ports just aren't all that interesting in the grand scheme of things. There are basically zero studios on mobile making games on Nintendo's level as first-class platform citizens.

Swords and Soldiers impressed the hell out of me, although it lacks online multiplayer. It's a very complete experience, as hand-held RTS games go. Also, I feel like "port from handheld device" isn't really too much of a port to complain about in the case of Civ Revolutions - a touch DS/PSP game is hardly a big jump to Android / iOS. That's more of a cross-platform release than a port.
