WoW on iPhone

Here we go! It doesen't look as fluid and effective as gaming on PC, but for little stuff like checking the AH, sending mail or maybe even crafting... why not.
The movie looks real enough but there still isn't any real confirmation or announcment, but I like the idea. It gives a whole new meaning to the term, WoW can run on anything.
here's the link to the article: kotaku.com/5228209/warcraft-on-an-iphone-but-is-it-coming-to-yours

Might be good for checking the AH and maybe crafting. Perhaps some social interaction as well.
Not much beyond that though. It's at least somewhat innovative.
Obviously it's not a means to do anything major on WoW like raid, PvP, or even leave town. They'll have to release a new version of the iPhone with some modifications so that you can at least get a bearable framerate. But this is just Blizzard trying to take that much more of your life away from you. Surely you can put this on Twitter "playing WoW on my phonez!".
I hate WoW but that is friggin awesome.
An intriguing idea. Perhaps an interface for Ah buying and selling. However, even crafting would not be too much to put on a platform like iphone

Looks like the recession will be lasting a lot longer now. Productivity just went to zero.

Well judging from the article along with the video it looks like the build shown is a prototype to pitch to blizz should they decide to go down the mobile route. So theres a good chance that this project may never see the light of day.
Sounds like a great concept but looking at the way blizz goes after everything with a magnifying glass, i guess we will only see it (if at all) much later in the future when more powerful versions of the iPhone/PSP/PDAs are available, that can actually run a lighter version of wow without any lag, dcs etc.
It may be even decent to do some easy dailies.
[sarcasm] Seems like a new market for me: MMO's on phones! [/sarcasm]
I was thinking something similar. Maybe for their next MMO. I read somewhere that they were looking into ways to greatly expand the ways in which you can interact with the game, from a social and progreesion standpoint. That would work in situations where you just wanna get in touch with guildees or do some trading, you could probably do that over some kind of web interface or iPhone2/smartphone app.
Battlenet2 is becoming all about connecting all Blizzard fans into one cehesive unit, I don't think somethink like what I said is that far fetched.
not really it was done with eve 2 years ago
Hell why not, I've seen friends put halo3 on their ipod touch, why not take 2 more steps forward.
