"I would say anything over 50ms of input lag is unusable and even that would not be good for competitive games. This is the same junk as that vaporware OnLive."

If you play 30fps games on (most) HDTVs, you're already looking at 120+ms of input lag.

didn’t realize it could be used for smartphones as well tho. could be a cool idea if/when the bandwidth gets there to make it possible for lots of people to use it

Yep. This isnt a new technology. Latency has always been the mountain to cross thats stopped high quality games from being ‘remote desktopped’ to smaller low powered internet ready devices.

Wireless speeds are increasing though. 4g is coming and it should put a huge dent in the problems stopping this from happening.

Try playing games with a 200-400ms latency.

Not going to work.

Nice for other applications, but completely useless for action games.

Whoa…OEMs such as NV, Q and PowerVR must wonder why they bother with mobile graphics when some company forges right ahead and comes out with something like this.

This should be amazing, though not quite the real deal.

Good enough though to show off to iPhail fanboys. Until it’s ported to that as well, heh.
