Yes thats right…the new service has announced that onlive works on mobiles too such as the iphone.

Unfortunately they are not announcing a date for availability of OnLive on mobile phones just yet.  So, for now, OnLive on a mobile phone is only a technology demo. But, for those of you who have been asking about OnLive on mobile phones, the answer is yes, it is coming. And, it is REALLY cool.

“Today, at a Wedbush financial conference in New York I showed OnLive running simultaneously on 2 iPhones, a TV, and a computer. What is really cool is that all 4 devices had access to the full OnLive Game Service, so they could play the same games, spectate on each other’s (and Beta users’) game play, watch Brag Clips, check out Gamer Profiles, etc.

While we only showed a tech demo today, it was great to give people in the audience a chance to try out OnLive on an iPhone. The large tiles that make up the OnLive user interface work perfectly on the iPhone touch screen, allowing easy access to all of the features of the OnLive game service.

That said, it’s important to understand that a mobile phone is a very different beast than TV, PC or Mac. And while we’re thrilled about eventually bringing many new games to cell phone platforms, currently, games on OnLive are tuned for TVs and computers. So initially, it’s the Community and Social elements of OnLive that we’re most excited about on mobile devices. It’s amazingly cool whipping out your phone, checking out what your OnLive friends are up to, and then spectating their live game play: Unscripted live user-generated content, available anywhere.”(Steve Perlman, OnLive Founder & CEO)
