I've seen some reviews of the everyAir on youtube and, not to burst anyone's bubble, but everything the guy tried to play ran incredibly bad. Even the log in screen of starcraft lagged so bad that he was unbearable to watch. I don't think that were getting the full story here yet and you should probably check out some other videos.

It probably requires ridiculous bandwidth on both sides.

I don't know how great it would be for playing, but I think it would be nice for watching replays and observing and stuff when you can't get onto your computer.

Definitely cool. Not for StarCraft, necessarily, but for all of the other things you can do with it. Seems to be a very high-quality VNC with very nice controls.

I played SC1 almost entirely with a laptop touchpad.. I gotta say, it's great for a couple hours, but then your finger starts on fire! :D

I am curious about the bandwidth needed.. even wireless N seems like it can't do it, with companies like Microsoft behind it, but gigabit ethernet should be able to.

On an iPhone? not viable.
On an iPad? That would be very interesting.

Viewing replays on something you can bring around would be awesome though.

Good luck on the project!

Knowing the mechanics needed to play SC2, I think this would be a perfect port !

Yeah, at the start of the video in the OP he seemingly logs in through a LAN address, so I would assume it requires a LAN connection for it to be as smooth.

RTS games such as SC2 i don't think would be enjoyable to play on a touch screen, however watching it's another story. Other games that aren't so "APM" intense would be playable tho.

Is your development strategy focusing specfically on the gaming applications or are you also just trying to be the best RDP around? For anyone using this currently: Do the interface and input controls there for gaming get in the way of doing things like viewing large PDFs(200MB+) that a phone can't load properly on its own?

Can you play Fallout 2 on it?
