Wow (pun intended ), I guess we could have predicted this a while back.

I think better processors and graphics rendering are making just about anything possible for these devices now.

It is just a stream, nothing more. You are actually logging onto a server that is running the game and streaming it to your device. I saw this a few years back as a concept on the iPhone. Would be handy for checking things like the AH, but definitely not true playing IMO. That said, Blizzard is already dooing mobile AH and some other mobile perks, although I do think there is a small monthly fee involved.

Thanks for the explanation on that, reef guy.

i signed up for the beta, if this does work well I plan on using it pretty much just for leveling mining and stuff since when Im actually playing im questing or doing dungeons.

i wish i could still play WoW... i loved that game.

I wasted 216 twenty four hour days on that game b/w all my characters.... such an addiction.
