    Cloud computing is going to make a lot of insanely cool things possible in the future, methinks. :)

    I don't know. It would probably be a bit cramped.

    Hmmm, kinda like that Onlive service that keeps getting postponed 'til later.

    That looks like its just a video playing. Note the strange finger movements and how the gun just decides to fire on its own.

    You know, I was kind of thinking the same thing. But the technology to play games like Crysis on an iPad really does exist.

    An iPad isn't able to run Crysis, it doesn't have a reasonable GPU so low @ 800x600 is too much for it already.

    To "stream" games you need fast Internet connection. A server has to send at least 30 PGN pictures per second, so that's about 5mb per sec, wich means you need at least 50mbit internet, so you'd probably have to play at home since 3G is very slow.

    If you want to play games like Crysis, buy a gaming rig. Streaming technology isn't fast enough for now.
