The technology is being shown off at the CTIA wireless event this week in Las Vegas, and will allow users to access the 3D world of Second Life, as well as communicate with in-game avatars via text and SMS. The application is due to launch on Samsung phones running Softboard software in the second half of this year. Huzzah?

They both have pretty smiles but the blonde is more photogenic.

This is very...very weird. I was watching CSI New York about an hour ago, and they had a thing where someone was on Second Life turning into the devil and basically making anyone that plays any MMO cry, when Lt.Dan suddenly said "Look for anybody using a smartphone!". I scoffed, NONSENSE! I said. Shenanigans I called!
.....I shall now eat my hat good sirs. Adieu

No kidding...

wow, those with absolutely no "real" social life can now sink even DEEPER.
Slayer @ Apr 2nd 2008 9:01PM
The same can be said about any game and the fact that your a member of this site.
Rob Accomando @ Apr 2nd 2008 9:28PM
Reading and posting in a blog isn't the same as spending countless hours everyday immersed in Second Life.
Jansperus @ Apr 2nd 2008 10:17PM
Rationalize it how you want. It's still a waste of time (as are games, especially ones that aren't social) and you're a loser for not doing something productive or hanging out with actual people.

I make 30k usd in Second Life a year and project making 70-100k this year selling content in SL. Real money is real life to me and to tell to the truth I like waking up everyday not worrying about having to work, it helps me enjoy "RL" more. What I think you dont understand is that this is the future web. The future form of commerce and a great way to communicate with people around the world. I'm sure there is even a place there for someone like you ;).

What on earth is that ugly phone? Urgh. Give me an iPhone with that sneaked out firmware 2.
John McPoop @ Apr 3rd 2008 12:17AM
That is the Blackjack... I know because I had the dis-pleasure of briefly owning one before purchase of said iPhone
DomoBraden @ Apr 2nd 2008 9:48PM
Why.

I still have yet to see the point in this...
Farseer (GDI) @ Apr 2nd 2008 10:14PM
Wow... color me surprised.
People are still playing Second Life...

Hey. I'm getting a BlackJack. But I don't like Second Life unless I get to make shit, which I'm guess I cant do.
How about WoW? Samsung, I want to play WoW on my phone. Please?
driven2sin @ Apr 3rd 2008 12:22AM
why don't women just give out sex instead of phoney smiles and gadget phones?

Take some sleep, come back to this post in the morning, and start pulling your hair out at the sudden exclamation of your comment's horror.

This is pretty cool, but too bad Second Life isn't my piece of pie.
WiNG @ Apr 3rd 2008 2:14AM
but...but...but... mobile phones was the last refuge land, safe from furries

Stop with Second Life already. Enough.

The day I receive a text saying "Hey kid, wanna yiff" I'm going on a three state killing spree.
