When it comes to iPhones and World of Warcraft, this won't be the first video showing how the latter could run on the former, with most of them being empty claims and mere mock-ups. This time, however, things may be a little different. Thanks to Vollee and the VolleeX engine, a video demonstration was put up on YouTube with the massively popular MMORPG running on an iPhone. See for yourself.

If you want to pull up some quick information about your World of Warcraft character (or anyone else's for that matter), why don't you try browsing for it on your iPhone. I'm not talking about the WoW Armory. There's a quicker way for you to do that - on the new and updated version of the Warcraft Characters app for the iPhone.

Much like serious sports fans have their ESPN SportsCenter programs, ON Networks is taking a similar route to provide World of Warcraft players online coverage for all their hardcore MMORPG needs for the game. Called, ON Warcraft, the program is available through the ON Networks website as well as through video-on-demand services like iTunes.

The program is hosted by Arwen Lietz and Marc Majcher as they provide colorful play-by-play commentaries while giving players some much needed information on how to navigate Blizzard's World of Warcraft universe.

Their first show in the series tells about the first instance dungeon in the Outlands, the Ramparts. They detail various tips and strategies on how to go through the area, as well as inform viewers on how to maximize experience, reputation and gold there.

ON Warcraft is just one of several programs of ON Networks that provide smart, informative and portable entertainment that can be watched anywhere on any device. ON Networks is one of the largest providers of compatible content for all Apple platforms, including the iPhone, iPod and Apple TV.

ON Networks' producer Cliff Wildman had this to say about the new program:

The debut of ON Warcraft is sure to appeal to the legions of WoW players. The show is for any of these players – from casual gamers to serious raiders – who want to enhance their gameplay and maximize their efficiency in the game

And while you're at it, why not take a look at the first segment of the Ramparts episode below.

If you're one of the lucky few to have an iPhone snuggled comfortably in your pocket or purse, and you're also one of the millions trekking the digital realms of Blizzard's World of Warcraft - here's something to satisfy both your main cravings in one shot: the World of WarCraft theme for the iPhone, courtesy of Dimos (Darkspear - H).

For a theme, it's definitely well-made, as it not only replaces the various icons with those from the game, it goes the extra mile of making the replacements relevant. For instance, the phone icon is replaced by the Hearthstone icon - and it's a common conception in WoW's RP servers that the Hearthstone itself is the reason why players are able to talk to each other via chat channels.

It's a small detail, to be frank, but it's the small details that can make or break things like these - and that extra consideration is always welcome.

Kudos to Dimos for letting iPhone users take a bit of Azeroth with them every time they step out. You can download the link to the theme pack via the link below.

Alan Joyce of EverythingDigital.org uploaded a video clip over at YouTube showing Blizzard's World of Warcraft running on Apple's iPhone. He was able to do it with the help of Telekinesis, a third-party streaming program that allows users to remotely access their Macs through a collection of mini web applications on the phone.

Joyce noted that the experience wasn't that smooth given WoW's textures, graphics, and sound settings among others. Despite that, Alan Joyce mentioned that he could control several actions in the MMO video game through the iPhone interface like receiving and responding to in-game chat messages.

Anyone seeing a future deal between Blizzard and Apple? Possibly a WoW client for the iPhone? We guess we'll have to wait and see.

PC World, a global computer magazine, has recently named some of the most influential people on the internet. Net heads, here's the top five of a list of those persons who move and shake the internet; we've arranged them from the fifth to the first for emphasis.

5. Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia - Admit it:  whatever piece of information that you get/cite, trivial or otherwise, often  comes from Wikipedia. It's even been cited in more than 100 US court decisions since
2004.

 4. Mike Morhaime, President of Blizzard Entertainment - Some say that there are only two MMO's: WoW, and everything else. Eight million people (and still counting) plus a chance to obtain the Blade of Eternal Justice put this guy at number 4.

3. Bram Cohen, Co founder of BitTorrent - This math and programming whiz kid put up BitTorrent, a way to download large files (like movies) by sharing the burden across hardware and bandwidth.

2. Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple -  DRM-free music and internet browsing through iPhone puts him on top - again.

1. Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin, Executives of Google - The most trafficked site on the internet is bound to influence internet users the most.

Hmm, we've reported about this just two weeks back but we felt it was worth touching back on as PocketGamer airs some pretty interesting points regarding this rumor.

For those who missed that post, here's a quick overview. iPhone World got a tip from an anonymous and reliable source that World of Warcraft is coming to the iPhone and also Video iPod. According to the said source, he/she saw a beta of WoW on the said Apple products.

Curiously, the anonymous Apple person (so much for Apple's well guarded secrects) claimed, "Watch out for the iPhone and their new video iPod when it comes to gaming. Imagine playing WoW on them using the touch screen interface. Think of the impact it's going to have on the handheld game market and Apple’s revenue." This rumor was greeted with a mixture of absolute disbelief and some sort of "I wonder if it's really possible".

According to PocketGamer, the iPhone's (and Video iPod's) leap from conventional mobile gaming to online gaming is just hard to compute. They are not completely discrediting the information since the iPhone reportedly has a full OS X (WoW has been successfully ported to the Mac OS). Throw the ARM11 processor into the pot plus touch screen capabilities and you get something that would resemble a handheld.

Could it really be true? Stay tuned for more updates and let's hope that the next Apple person we hear from is reliable sans the anonymity.

iPhone World has an exclusive report regarding World of Warcraft, it seems. An anonymous tip they got from a "reliable source" mentioned that Apple's iPhone and new video iPod will be able to run World of Warcraft.

The source mentioned that you'll be using the touch screen interface to play the game and that it was already demonstrated on the rumored new video iPod - said to be blessed with the same touchscreen technology that the iPhone has.

A very juicy rumor, but could it be true? From our perspective, all we can say is "Shenanigans!" If you'd recall, Blizzard has been emphasizing a keyboard and mouse as essentials to play and enjoy WoW. If the iPhone (who is said to have a very powerful ARM11 processor) or the rumored new video iPod could really run the game, who would want to play it on a very small screen?

Well, maybe some really small gamers with really small limbs... but then again, wouldn't ants have trouble paying for membership?
