    The beta is Free for all users, we do recommend that you have a data plan with your carrier.

    Torley - sorry we do not currently have a solution for your N800 - you should have gone with that Touch after all ;) Given you are one of the leading voices of the community we would love to have your first hand thoughts of what we are doing, just ping me through our site and I will arrange to get you a compatible phone.

    sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Better to post these questions on our Forum now that we are live as I do not look here as often. Yes your are correct, the TyTN should also be a valid handset - just not fully tested in QA yet.

    VolleeDude - I see the 8925 up there, does it also run on the older 8525? Hardware for these purposes should be the same, but no GPS, older camera, no tilt, etc. Shouldn’t affect this program? Can I just dl the 8925 version?

    Cool to see this! I have a Nokia N800 but don’t see that device under the Nokia list; it’s more of an Internet tablet than a phone, but is there planned support for it?

    npole - Actually that is factually incorrect - for one we are doing this with Linden lab blessing. We take peoples privacy very seriously (as stated in our privacy policy) and at not time do we see any username or password as it is end to end encrypted - your credentials are stored on your phone not on our servers and they are passed through. There is no more sharing than there is with your ISP when you log-in from your PC. However if you prefer using an alt, then by all means you should do so.

    Vollee should state that you are actually “sharing” your Second Life account, or to be precise, you are sending your login information to their clients, and do NOT encurage to use your main av. This is against the TOS of Second Life. I’m not saying that Vollee would steal your passwords, but that point must be CLEAR on their service agrement.

    It is live! Vollee has launched their service on some 40 handets. I just downloaded it on my phone - it works excellent. I had my doubts when I first saw the video, but it really does work that well.

    This is really incredible, I am really impressed by how good it looks. Congratulations on pulling this off.

    Vollee will be going live with their beta trail in the next few weeks, it is not yet available. You will receive notification when it is.

    They say a textmessage will be send to my mobile.
    Im waiting a whole day… no SMS =/

    Ahh it does run on HTC phones. Nice.

  18. Comment by P3xViewer — July 1, 2009 @ 5:53 am

    HTC phones? I’d love this to come onto a smartphone like the S710.

    pescadorsp: you are correct that it is a pretty low-end phone. We selected it specifically to prove that you do not need a fancy high-end phone with 3D capabilities, as all the processing is done on our side. I can assure you that just about all Nokia 3G handsets will be supported also.

    What disappointed me was the program running in a crappy Motorola phone. A important tip, use Nokia for test and show these apps, they are the majority of the worldwide market (excluding damn US), and the multimedia and SW capabilities are way better!

    at first I thought that it looks awful,
    but in the high quality video it looks WAY better.

  22. Comment by mmmpiekitty — July 6, 2009 @ 4:07 am

    Awesome! I’m glad someone is doing this. It is the coolest demo for streaming games!

    mikerowe01: Vollee will be supporting iPhone - we only require a fast connection (3G) so wi-fi is obviously also supported as a way to connect to our service

    VulpisFoxfire: Thanks - The performance is what you get on a very high-end PC. We are running the original Second Life client on our servers. It is basically a remote PC for you, but delivered in a manner that is adapted for mobile

  25. Comment by VulpisFoxfire — July 9, 2009 @ 10:17 pm

    Interesting–and the performance doesn’t seem too bad either, though you don’t go someplace with a crowd. I’d be curious to see a PC version of this, just to see if it performs better than the ‘real’ client. :-)
