OnLive set for mobile phones
Cloud service working on iPhone et al
Speaking at last week's Wedbush Morgan financial conference, OnLive CEO Steve Perlman revealed that the firm already has the cloud gaming platform working on mobile phones - opening up the tantalising possibility of the iPhone and other smartphones getting access to this ambitious service.
"Today, at a Wedbush financial conference in New York, I showed OnLive running simultaneously on 2 iPhones, a TV, and a computer. What is really cool is that all 4 devices had access to the full OnLive Game Service, so they could play the same games, spectate on each others (and Beta users') game play, watch Brag Clips, check out Gamer Profiles, etc," Pearlman tells the OnLive blog.
"That said, it's important to understand that a cell phone is a very different beast than TV, PC or Mac. And while we're thrilled about eventually bringing many new games to cell phone platforms, currently, games on OnLive are tuned for TVs and computers. So initially, it's the Community and Social elements of OnLive that we're most excited about on mobile devices."
