MMObile

Id may have gone retro with their recent Orcs title for mobile phones, but CEO John Carmack is looking fowards the future with a sneaky suggestion of an online game for mobile phones. Carmack told CNN Money that he has no intention of taking on World of Warcraft owners Blizzard, but he's got ideas that MMOs on mobile may be the next big thing.

Indeed, this is another example of how ubiquitous computer gaming technologies may shape how the non-gamer demographics views interactive entertainment. A mobile MMO's ideal for a platform which is often used as a time-filler. Further, there's an increasing number of systems potentially catering to the mobile MMO development market, and phones with increased technological capacity are beginning to spread beyond the early adopters.
