If some guy/gal really loves to do business in a virtual world then there's a target market for somebody. Is it worth setting up shop in a virtual world to solicit a very narrow niche at this time? Maybe. I guess it depends on the business type. I see some very niche business in virtual worlds coming from, you guessed it, mostly virtual world peeps.

If the businesses were so interested in this at a truly functional level, we'd have many more initiative behind mobile worlds, except the variables are astounding in the mobile industry. I encourage people to look at the PS3 as an un-desktop-- a unified, consistent platform that can be deployed with identical hardware; acquired from any retailer; with a much longer shelf life than a PC counterpart. Zero-config if you will. PS3 has more out of the box to be functional and running in minutes, including the browser, connectivity and hard media capabilities that its competitors lack.
