This is yet another reason why they kicked moto's butt. Taking chances. How long will it be before they (or some third party) creates the WoW client. Gonna be big.

Let's have tiny little sexy times.

I for one hope to never see WoW on mobile phones. Last thing I need is even more people ignoring human interaction in public places because of their cell phones. At least this game wouldn't have a big effect.

And why is the cute girl the one in the back?

@skittlzncombos: Cause in Second Life the one in the front is the cute one and the one in the back is a puppy.

Gimme some "Enemy Territory:Quake Wars" and we'll talk.

curse you unecessary buttons!

@skittlzncombos:

kudos to the Giz for highlighting the blond anyway.

Am I the only one sick of hearing about Second Life?

Maybe I should actually try it sometime....

And two people not playing Second Life...? Those girls above. Nuff said.

Yeah, if it was up to me I buy the phone that the really cute girl in the back is holding...

WoW on the iPhone. It's gonna happen.

Don't you need the first life before you can start the second one?

Thank gawd! I was afraid some people might have to be disconnected from SL for a few minutes...

Well done with the wow joke, Mark!

Why put it on a Samsung phone? It has an open source client. There's not as much need for a mouse compared to a game. It's purely community orientated, something which some people might appreciate on a communication device.

I visit SL from time to time as there's a lot of interesting user-created places. It's too bad it's encumbered by a real market. Strip malls do not make for an interesting world. Places like the NASA display are interesting, though, and it's fun to run into live performances by musicians.

@skittlzncombos: What are you talking about, the cute girl IS in the front! ;)

I think its a good idea. Fads can ebb and flow, Second Life could come back to be something bigger, perhaps through the cell phone market. It'd be way better than much of the other cell phone games out there.

@wjousts: Don't do it. I tried it once. If you want a similar experience go into a public school yard give the boys Hussler magazines and punch a little girl square in the face. The chaos that ensues is about on par really.

Also I thought the idea behind second life was to give those people that have no life a life at least in a digital world. Why would they need the client portable if they just live in their parents basement between jobs for the past 10 years.

fap fap fap....

@TheCyberBob: LOL! They have to go to the bathroom SOME time... =-P

so you, can escape from life while living it. honestly, this Second Life crap needs to die.

@Fountainhead: Ha. The unnecessary fap fap fap's will never get old to me....

People, don't you know better? Stay away from Second Life! First Life has MUCH better reviews and technical support.

(Amount of people Who Play Second Life) - (Amount of them who don't have a laptop) - (Amount who'd buy a Samsung over this) = Three.

...sadly, I am one of the Three.

I, for one, just don't get it. Do people actually want to play games like this on a phone?! So we aim to get BIGGER TV's and BIGGER monitors for our PC's...and then play a game on a tiny phone?

On a side note I went to high school with the guy that started Linden Labs/Second Life...rich bastard! LOL

If I were bored enough to actually play 2nd Life, I may actually have my phone with me. I think 2nd Life "mobile" is more compelling than the original.

Same goes for many other time wasting computer activities... Look how popular email is. :o)

If I was ever bored enough to play Second Life, I may actually have my cell phone with me. I think Second Life "mobile" is more compelling than the original.

The whole genre of time wasting computer entertainment is more interesting on a mobile platform than while sitting at home. Look how popular mobile email is! :o)

@Mayor McRib: Yeah. But if you had one wouldn't you be working or out doing something in the real world rather than posting comments on Giz?

@wjousts: I pretty much agree. I get kinda sick of hearing, in just about every tech column, how Second Life is the future now and how it's the testing ground for all the new possibilities technology will bring us.

I tried it, I really did, for a few weeks. It's fun to explore, but essentially, it's 3D chatroom. Building anything takes an enormous amount of effort and learning. And the place is mostly a jungle of huge 'malls' and adult entertainment vendors, which is sad because you have to pay for that and people actually do.

Uhhhhm, Second Life is free wjousts. :)

Uuuhm, Second Life is free wjousts. :)

You don't need to pay one penny if you don't want to. And you still get to enjoy the world.
