Second Life on mobile I think it would be one of the dumbest experiences to try. I hate cell phones, I consider them ugly, uncomfortable and absolutely and intrinsically obsolete. With regret, however, I know that it will still take a long time before they are replaced by some sort of light and comfortable oculus glasses that finally free us from slavery for now imperceptible and unaware of living only one reality at a time. But when I think of the inevitable human scenario that will take place in about fifty years and that I will not live, I gnaw badly. That stupid and awkward little cell phone that we now adore will turn into a symbiote grafted into our cerebral cortex and then there will be no need for inherently obsolete objects. And do you know what will be the most beautiful thing? It will be that we will be able to install symbionts also in the cerebral cortex of our dogs and they will finally be freed from the unfair linguistic limit in which we have selfishly held them prisoner for millennia and they will finally be able to make us understand what they really want when they stare at us. They will also be able to participate in public life by representing themselves in parliament and claiming their right to be taken for a walk or to establish a new constitution in which the right to poop at set times is essential. This is the wonderful future that awaits us, don't be fixated on thinking of a stupid application to use on a stupid little cellphone.

1. When will the mobile app be available by LL ? 2. Why is the secondlife.com website not showing who is online inworld? It shows that everyone is offline.

As a very active person I talk too much with people, sometimes I have to go and leave the conversation without ending it. Sometimes I wish I could open an app just like WhatsApp and continue wherever I am without needing to bring my lap top with me. It would be really cool if just that was added, i don't ask for a fully SL app, but just an app to keep with the chat. What do you guys think, you guys feel the same way? Let me know! 😆

Just a quick post to share my experience using the Fusion 5 Windows tablet to connect to Second Life. I bought the version with 4gb ram, which is still inexpensive compared to the Surface and Samsung Windows tablets at under $200 us. It's also smaller at 10 inches which I like as I use it while traveling. I'm using Fire Storm as my primary viewer, with very low settings obviously. But with crappy hotel Wi-Fi I get between 5-15 fps. Frame rates plummet in demanding situations, such as clubbing, but I can control that a bit thanks to Jelly Doll settings in FS. The Fusion's mic is terrible, and the system is strained as it is, so I don't use voice with it. I use the external USB keyboard/cover. It's not great, but it works. Mostly. The keyboard has a touchpad, and there doesn't seem to be any way to turn it off or even adjust the sensitivity. It causes your cursor to jump while typing, ruining a line of text. That is my biggest complaint about the set up. At home, I use it as a second system to stream music for my budding DJ career. It runs Rocket Broadcaster like a boss.

The forums seem to have just changed to a mobile-first format. Less info, hamburger menus, more clicks to navigate. Or is that a mode selection somewhere?

Hey all, I was wondering if there was any way to stay in touch with SL friends outside of using an actual viewer, like maybe a kind of chat or messaging app? I already looked for a mobile app and learned there is none (I'm on iOS and outside the US), but I was wondering if there's some kind of text-only messaging system that either works on a phone or on a computer without installing any software. I'd like to use it from work here and there but can't install a viewer or other software on my computer there.
