Yup, it’s the accelerometers in an iPhone that would make it a fun tool for SL – a bit like a Wii or PS3 SixAxis controller but with the display attached – a live peephole into SL.

It may all be academic, the announcements recently about the next gen’ of internet ‘The Grid’, capable of connections 10,000 times faster than we’re used to, throws everything into the air, perhaps literally as we all start connecting to cloud computers.

It would be such a paradigm shift, who’s going to need fancy graphics cards anymore – you’ll only need a terminal device capable of displaying the feed it gets from your subscription to SL (or whatever). Hard to get your head around, it would completely transform the current PC market. Interesting stuff… http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article3689881.ece
