[...] First-and-a-half Life? Down yonder Android way comes a concept that could very easily be done on the iPhone and possibly bring about a rather fascinating new way for social (networking) butterflies to congregate and do … stuff. It’s called Duo, and it bills itself as “an online world. It’s also a social network, a content creation tool, a search engine, a massively multiplayer game service, and a development platform. But it’s not a mash-up! Mashing is messy.” That’s certainly an impressive CV, and it’s rather difficult to describe this mixed reality application and game in a few sentences, so you’re best to check out the video to get a sense of what Duo is all about. Yes it’s only for Android right now, but there’s nothing stopping it from being ported to the iPhone, and although I’m not much into the social networking scene, I can tell that this could be a very interesting new way to bring people together and let them do all sorts of things that have a lot more practicality than they do in purely fantastical worlds like Second Life. And probably with a lot fewer furries. (One can hope.) (via Apple iPhone School) [...]

This looks startlingly similar to “The iPhone’s First MMORPG, Parallel Kingdoms.” Minus the whole fighting bit that comes with the MMORPG genre. If you want more info on Parallel Kingdoms, you can get it here: http://www.parallelkingdom.com/ I read on http://www.toucharcade.com that it will be ported to iPhone, but I don’t know how true that is.

That is correct, this is being displayed on Android but the video is tagged with the keyword iPhone on YouTube. This is why we are looking for more info on this app.
