World of Warcraft on the iPhone?

It's way possible now. The technology that will eventually allow you to play Warcraft on your new iPhone is called Interactive 3D Streaming , being developed by Comverse and Intel, which takes out the CPU burden from the mobile device and just streams the good stuff to it. The hurdle is that MMORPGs like WoW and Second Life require lots of horsepower and number crunching from th e CPU and the graphics chips to do what they do. The new technology does all th e heavy lifting on their backend server, and then just streams it to the gamer via WiMax or 3G via a gateway designed by Com verse. (Aren't you glad iPhones do 3G now?) Can't wait. More on Comverse 3D Streaming here.

With the iPHone 2's 3D graphics capabilities, I think some more direct form of
3D is going to be available than simply streaming video.

Nice find, but we seem to forget something - WiFi and 3G data eat battery life
:) ah we're still getting there, but nice things come out everyday.
