Designers of the popular space-based MMO, EVE Online, are thinking to go beyond the PC, to expand to other platforms such as consoles and mobile phones. We at IntoMobile.com don’t care much about consoles, hence it’s the second part we’ll discuss here.
In a recent interview to MTV Multiplayer, EVE Online’s lead designer said: “What we’re more interested in is augmenting EVE’s gameplay in the handheld space, like iPhone or Smartphone [applications] that let you check your skills or that sort of thing.”
Hear that? An iPhone app is in the queue, or at least that’s the way I read this. Now, this doesn’t mean the full blown desktop experience will be available on the iPhone. Rather I guess initially users will be able to check their stats, trade, and/or chat with other users to keeping up with events. That by itself is a good starting point, don’t you think?

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
