How is Pocket Metaverse different than other mobile applications for Second Life?
Pocket Metaverse communicates directly from your iPhone to Second Life. This is important for two reasons. First, some mobile applications that allow you to log into Second Life require your Second Life password and other sensitive information to pass through their servers, and there is always a risk when you share this type of confidential data through any third-party servers. No matter how trustworthy a third-party server is, you’re also dependent on their ability to protect their servers from malicious attack to protect your data. Pocket Metaverse connects only to the Second Life Grid or other OpenSim grids that you specify, it does not communicate with our servers and collects no data about you for any purpose. The other big advantage is that it is much easier for us to implement richer user interface features, since we can program to the full scope of the Second Life Protocol in order perform any task a conventional viewer would.
