Mobile Viewer Now Avaiable to Premium, Premium-Plus Residents, In "Early Beta"

 
 
A couple days ago on the evening of Tuesday June 25, Linden Lab announced it was making it's mobile viewer open to all Premium and Premium-Plus accounts of Second Life. The Lab would say the viewer is in "early beta."
 

We’re excited to announce the next important milestone in the availability of the all-new official Second Life Mobile app. Effective today, we’re now opening up early beta access to all active Premium and Premium Plus members!

The Second Life app brings all the richness and beauty of the virtual world to both mobile phones and tablets. Now you can stay connected and socialize with your friends and communities – anytime, anywhere. Explore a diverse universe of places while on the go and even style your avatar – all from the palm of your hand.


The mobile app can be downloaded through this here, which will take you to the App Store: https://www.secondlife.com/mobile
 
As of the writing of this article, there are 15 reviews, mostly very good or very poor, which even out to a rating of 3.3 out of 5. Of the poor ratings, the majority stated they couldn't log in. 

The Lab would go on to say that a number of communities and other public places would be launching launch parties for the mobile viewer. This includes Caledon, Bay City, the Bellisserian Bureau of Bureaucracy, the Nature Collective, Virtual Ability, and others. The Lab is still open to more holding events, those interested invited to fill out the form (here).

Mobile App for Second Life Approved by Apple

 

At the Web User Group Meeting moderated by Keira Linden on July 7, Keira had some details on several issues. But the most notable one was about Linden Lab's mobile app for Second Life. She announced that it had been approved by Apple for it's App Store. It wasn't currently in the store as the Lab wants to add a few things before it gets posted. It will just be the iOS version as Android still needs more work.

The app is just a chat app only with no 3D view, for now. Also for now, one can only directly IM others with it, though group chat should be available later. One can search names on the app, but it can't access notecards (or anything else in inventory). Keira Linden thought it would be particularly useful for Second Life merchants to keep in touch with customers away from their computers.
