World of Warcraft (WoW) on the iPhone? Yes, you read it correctly! This isn’t necessarily a new app for the iPhone though. What you see in the picture and the video below is actually WoW being streamed to the iPhone via the iPhone’s 3G connection. What we understand from this is that, the actual online game is running on the PC but with the help of Vollee, WoW can be successfully streamed and yes, played on the iPhone 3G. It looks like from the video, most features of the game can be played and the speed looks pretty smooth taking into consideration it is 3G.
It’s done using Vollee, which is used to stream games over 3G, so the video is actually just a stream and the rendering is done on the PC. But it’s much smoother than we’d expect over 3G, and comes with enough features that true WoW addicts will be able to get their fix on the run, buying and selling elves or whatever happens in that game.

So, you have to leave your PC on to play it? Boo! Have to wait until they figure out a way to play it just using the iPhone…still, clever stuff!

Oh man this is my dream come true! WoW on the iphone, that is insane. I guess this has to be done on a network wifi? Would be sweet if you could do it from 3g and play wherever you are at any given time..Nice post!
