Alice has just reminded me that Habbo Hotel creators Sulake have released a new "pocketsize" virtual world, for mobile phones. The hugely successful Finnish company, whose Habbo has over 129m accounts registered, are currently beta testing Bobba, available for the Nokia N-series and the iPhone. At the moment, information is thin, but the screenshots suggest an avatar-led social space, in which players can create their own spaces and chat with other users.
We've been waiting for a successful mobile phone version of a virtual world for a long time; perhaps Bobba's time has come.
updated with some corrections sent in from Sulake!
