World of Warcraft on an iPhone?

I’ve wondered about this. Theoretically, it should be possible, since the iPhone gives you the “full Internet” via Safari. To be sure, a major bummer complete with squinted eyes and frantic pinching and swiping and tapping, but still theoretically possible.

Well, we’ve got proof of concept. The folk over at everythingdigital.org have uploaded a YouTube video where WoW is being played (with great difficulty it appears) on an iPhone. It was done with the help of something called Telekinesis, which is a streaming app. It does seem slow and tedious, and in the future might actually be workable, but we’ll need a modified client whatever the case may be.
