Second Life goes MOBILE!!


Volee announced that they have now created a beta version of Second Life over 3G handsets. I think this is important for the following reasons.

1) It will allow existing SL addicts more access to the game, and therefore allow the ecosystem to develop further.
2) It will provide an opportunity new players who have very little time, to spend more hours on the game.
3) As adoption increases, this becomes an even more compelling medium for companies to get their message out.

Second Life, however fun it may be is a major time suck. I tried to get into the game, and quite frankly, since i have a Real Life to live, i just couldn't make it happen. I want to explore further the business benefits of Second Life and get real life examples of how companies have leveraged the virtual world to their benefit. If anyone has any examples of this, please let me know.
