A trademark filed by World of Warcraft developer Blizzard Entertainment seems to indicate the company's desire to integrate their gaming properties with the convenience of mobile phones.
The trademark is for a system called "Battlechat" and refers to "virtual network telecommunications services, namely, providing an interface for the electronic transmission of messages and data including voice, text, and message transmission."
While the trademark doesn't expressly guarantee that you'll be able to slay dragons from your iPhone, it does point towards at least a desire by the company to somehow merge its PC properties with the ubiquitous cellular phone market.
If I had to speculate based purely on the description, I'm thinking "Battlechat" could be an extension of
Blizzard's Battle.net online matchmaking and communication service currently in use in the firm's Diablo, StarCraft and non-MMO WarCraft titles.
In the interest of full disclosure, it also seems that the trademark is no longer accessible via the USPTO site is available for public inspection at the USPTO site, though navigating that site is very difficult.
