Recently i ran a couple of posts on getting Second Life running on your Android Tablet or Phone. using the 'SL Go App' this App was the cause of some controversy with its $3.00 an hour charges! Since then i reported here on the blog about the new changes to this tariff. SL Go is now $9.99 a month for unlimited use, or $1.00 an hour.
Good news for the travelling Second Life Users out there, also good news for those with low end, or older Laptops as you can have Second Life running 'SL Go' on older hard ware and let the SL Go Server do all the work, meaning you can have a SL experience way beyond the capabilities of your old machine and enjoy great graphics and performance without your poor old laptop taking the strain. So, SL Go is a very good thing for anybody needing it for the above reasons.
GET SECOND LIFE RUNNING FOR FREE
ON YOUR ANDROID!
My Tip For A Low Budget 'Free' Way to use Second Life On Your Android!
What if you you are not moving too far? What if you want be out and about locally with your tablet or phone, or in other rooms of your home maybe? Then the opportunity arises to use a 'Remote Desktop' App. And I've just been playing around with the 'Chrome Remote Desktop' App. Which is free!
This is an amazing App! Once installed on your Android device, and on your PC Desktop, you can log in on your tablet/Phone, via a security pin number and just use your PC remotely. This of course means anything on your PC can now be accessed, you literally get a duplicate view of your PC desktop, and use your Windows as usual. Including all your software, pictures, and of course Second Life!
I began by making a few adjustments to my Firestorm viewer, such as setting it up for me to walk to where my cursor clicked, and made my camera controls box larger. I'm sure there are a few other adjustments you can make to have the second Life experience more suited to a touch screen tablet. After only a few minutes in world i was using Second Life pretty well, once you get your head around things and get used to the controls, and using your finger as your mouse etc, you can have a full Second Life experience no different at all from being sat at your desk top.
This really is worth trying out, it costs nothing, and aside from Second Life, this really could well be the most useful App you'll ever have.
