iHaloStats-Like WoW Version for iPhone?

A post-DICE interview with Blizzard cofounder, Frank Pearce, has revealed that the developers of the most popular MMORPG on the planet are thinking of a mobile version for WoW. Naturally, only la crème de la crème of mobile phones will be able to support Blizzard's MMO, and Apple's iPhone sounds like a worthy candidate. However, "WoW mobile" may not be the MMORPG-on-the-go you dreamed of.

While packing his bags after DICE, Blizzard's Frank Pierce
suggested to MTV that gamers wouldn't actually be able to "play" World of Warcraft on their cell phones, but rather monitor in-game correspondence and auctions. Not exactly the mobile-quest-frenzy you were hoping for, right? Nevertheless, it's still something WoW gamers would definitely download as an app use on the phones.

Pierce also hinted that while creating a mobile interface for WoW, allowing fans to chat and supervise stuff, the version will most likely not allow users to buy and sell items. And then it hit me: iHalo Stats!

This is the exact translation of Kato's iHaloStats application for the iPhone, only dedicated to World of Warcraft and possibly not just for smartphones, such as Apple's. iHalo stats brings up all ranks, kills, skills, medals, and even promotions, whether they're yours or your fellow Halo 3 gamers'. A few simple input commands and that's it.

Now, if it works for Halo 3, which, although is equally popular, sports much less items, why wouldn't it work with WoW? Better yet, why would anyone even doubt this app's arrival on cell phones? It makes perfect sense. WoW gamers frenetically keep track of even the smallest item's whereabouts. Being able to be completely aware of how your party is doing when you're not anywhere near your PC is something to be cherished.

Make sure to check back in soon for updates.
