SL Go streaming from OnLive* is now available on iOS/Android tablets only via the third party Firestorm viewer, as Iris reported earlier today, so I took my Samsung tablet and my cat out on my balcony to give it a quick spin. So far, pretty smooth -- loads, streams, and plays somewhat faster than the official SL viewer on SL Go, seems to me. On a tablet, all Firestorm's cool/quirky UI features are somewhat difficult to access and tweak with your fingers, but it is possible. I prefer using SL Go on my old Dell laptop, but if you're a power tablet user, it could be worth giving it a try:
- Click here for a 7 day free trial via credit card or PayPal.
- Sign-up in SL for an account with Linden Dollars (no real name or credit card required) by visting this OnLive location: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sunny%20Dream/230/147/22
And if you have questions or feedback, be sure to share below!
*Disclosure: I occasionally consult for and/or partner with OnLive, but not currently.

Still wondering, can I access other grids, such as Metropolis grid using SL Go Firestorm???

Yes, you can access OpenSim grids using OnLive Firestorm. I do it all the time.
Caveat: You can do it on a computer and on Android tablet, but there is currently no OnLive Firestorm for the IOS, so not on an ipad.

Correction. I just tried it and yes you can use the SLGO app on both Android tablet and Apple ipad to log into OpenSim grids like Metropolis, Francogrid, OSGrid, Kitely, etc.
Yes!
