We have a host of mobile devices and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/vollee">services available to us</a> with speed increases every year, but still connections to our online social networks are quite limited when we're not in front of our computers. <br /><br />Shouldn't more companies focus on allowing our mobile devices to act as extensions of our computers and consoles? That's what Tom Sperry, CEO and President of <a href="http://www.exitgames.com/">Exit Games Inc.</a> thinks. He lays out his vision for how things can improve, in this scenario: <br /><p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/06/08/mmobile-extensions-of-our-social-and-gaming-networks/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>MMObile: extensions of our social and gaming networks</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/06/08/mmobile-extensions-of-our-social-and-gaming-networks/">MMObile: extensions of our social and gaming networks</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Sun, 08 Jun 2008 10:00:00 EST.

<p>You may remember Vollee, a company using an combination of streaming trickery to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/22/surprise-world-of-warcraft-isnt-the-first-mmo-on-a-phone/">stream the displays of various games and software down to your mobile phone</a>. The most touted item was <a href="http://secondlife.com/"><em>Second Life</em></a>, and we're told that that beta is live right now.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.vollee.com/secondlife/faq">Check out their FAQ</a>, and give them a try -- assuming you're willing to trust them with your account credentials, which not everyone will. We're not yet sure if the <a href="http://www.vollee.com/secondlife">list of supported hardware</a> is final. If you give the beta a try, by all means, let us know what you think.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/06/03/vollee-second-life-mobile-beta-live/">Vollee Second Life mobile beta live</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 03 Jun 2008 11:00:00 EST.

<div align="left">Last month we reported on the company <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/22/surprise-world-of-warcraft-isnt-the-first-mmo-on-a-phone/">Vollee and their mobile gaming platform</a>, which will be offering Second Life access to mobile phone users.  Also last month, we confused some readers by using the above <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/22/surprise-world-of-warcraft-isnt-the-first-mmo-on-a-phone/#c11764689">photoshopped photo of Second Life on the iPhone</a>.  We apologize for the confusion caused by the photo originally, as Vollee had not announced iPhone support, but the good news is that Vollee has <a href="http://www.thinkartificial.org/web/vollee-mobile-second-life/">confirmed that their client will be available for the iPhone</a> in addition to the other phones announced!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thinkartificial.org/">Think Artificial.org</a> confirmed this information with <a href="http://www.vollee.com">Vollee</a>, revealing that the company will be supporting both 3G networks as well as wi-fi, which means the iPhone will be supported at launch.  In a statement to Think Artificial, the company stated that "All we need is a fast connection, so yes wi-fi works fine."<br /><br />So, it looks like iPhone users will also be able to get their Second Life fix in with the rest of the mobile crowd.  If you're intrigued and wish to get in on the action, <a href="http://www.vollee.com/secondlife">Vollee is still accepting beta tester signups</a> on their main website.  So if you missed our previous report or were worried that the iPhone wouldn't be supported, now is your chance to run over and get a piece of the action before it's gone.<br /><br />[Thanks, Hrafn!]</div>
