Intel wastes our moment and yours with SL and WoW clients for MIDs

Filed under: ,

Don’t get ahead of us here, Intel isn’t building full-featured Second Life and World of Warcraft apps for handheld Mobile World Wide Web Devices. Instead they’re using a new “Interactive 3D Streaming” tech to control and view the game remotely — similar to some to that Telekinesis app we saw playing WoW on the iPhone last year, but Intel seems to be much further along. Their Xeon 5400 server can handle 14 clients simultaneously, but we’re guessing that won’t be cost effective for Blizzard anytime soon — though we can imagine quite a few addicts rigging up similar systems for themselves. The sad news here is that Intel might’ve just discovered the best use for a MID yet.

[Thanks to everyone who sent that in]
