How close to your heart do you keep World of Warcraft -- as in, say, your chest pocket? You've probably heard passing tell of one or more of its features, but you might not have realized how many ways the Mobile Armory offers to keep you in touch. View your character profile and search for others with the character profile function. Access most auction house functions via the Remote Auction House, including web access from your computer. Log in to guild chat via your mobile device, and keep up with the in-game calendar, guildmate and friend event invitations, and guild news.

There's also a mobile login authenticator for many mobile devices. And come BlizzCon time, Blizzard releases a handy app with full schedules and event locations.

So whenever we spy you away from your keyboard, with head down and thumbs flying on your smartphone, should we expect that you might still be plugged in to your precious game world? If you're a WoW Mobile Armory fan, what part do you use most? Or if you're not a fan of this free service, why not?

The World of Warcraft mobile app for iOS devices was updated today with the oft-requested mobile guild chat feature. Best of all, this new feature is free to everyone for a limited time! Check out the full release after the break.

The newest version of the World of Warcraft Mobile Armory has been released on iTunes, featuring a 3-D model viewer for all characters, activity feeds similar to the ones on the web version of the armory, and optimizations for Apple's iOS 4.0.

Included in the update is a cool feature called screenshot mode, allowing you to take cool pictures of your characters in front of lots of backdrops, including the racial capital cities. The screenshot mode will even remove all of the interface elements from the phone, giving you a clean shot.

This update could be laying the groundwork for the newly revealed mobile guild chat service available through the armory app, potentially unlocked in the near future for subscribers to Blizzard's Remote Auction House service. Hopefully, more light will be shed on this functionality in the near future. Until then, get updating, because these new features are pretty neat. Previously, I would have had to bookmark the armory's RSS feed for my characters and open them in Safari on the iPhone, but with the new activity feeds built right into the armory app, things have gotten a lot less clunky.
