Last month we reported on the company Vollee and their mobile gaming platform, which will be offering Second Life access to mobile phone users. Also last month, we confused some readers by using the above photoshopped photo of Second Life on the iPhone. We apologize for the confusion caused by the photo originally, as Vollee had not announced iPhone support, but the good news is that Vollee has confirmed that their client will be available for the iPhone in addition to the other phones announced!
Think Artificial.org confirmed this information with Vollee, revealing that the company will be supporting both 3G networks as well as wi-fi, which means the iPhone will be supported at launch. In a statement to Think Artificial, the company stated that "All we need is a fast connection, so yes wi-fi works fine."
So, it looks like iPhone users will also be able to get their Second Life fix in with the rest of the mobile crowd. If you're intrigued and wish to get in on the action, Vollee is still accepting beta tester signups on their main website. So if you missed our previous report or were worried that the iPhone wouldn't be supported, now is your chance to run over and get a piece of the action before it's gone.

I don't think I would be able to afford using such a service, I would ratter have a adware (of the good kind, not the ones that do bad stuff) system to stream the data from a client running on a pc (as well mac if there will be interest, though I don't own one nor am around one I can install stuff with any frequency) via bluetooth to a S60v3 mobile phone
though I dunno if just displaying ads would be enough to cover the costs of who would be providing such system, but I don't mind somthign like an ad banner, or an add splash screen or some other way to display the ads as long as they don't get in the way of using the system (if it keeps showing popups while I'm doing somthing, or uses up to much bandwidth I'll probably not use it for too long)
