Iphone + rdp app = eq on the go?

Anyone ever try this? Curious if even possible over 3G.

It'd probably be REALLY painful.. I can RDP into my home PC and get into EQ, but I've got to look at the ground and can really only talk to people. Too much movement/screen activity and the RDP connection drops.

Can't imagine it'd be much better on a phone, but if you can pull it off, more power to ya.

I'd say you should just go all out and figure out a way to install EQ on your phone :P

There is a video on youtube of someone doing it, it is possible with remote desktop, but I hear it isnt good unless the phone is overclocked, connected to wifi, or on 4g.

I imagine that being extremely difficult to control but im sure its possible.

3g is certainly fast enough to play eq.
I used to play with my iphone connection tethered to my laptop on the go~

This isn't the same. You're sending images from your real PC to you IPhone, not the EQ data stream.

I've seen this done on an overclocked android phone, the samsung fascinate version to be exact. I'm not tech-savvy or anything so wouldnt be able to figure this out, but if it worked smoothly I'd like to learn how lol.

Droid not IPhone, but its a starting point.

Correct, which is the downfall with this. Your FPS are going to blow and you're not going to be able to really play at all. I use RDP and VNC at home a lot of the time if I'm doing some mindnumbing camp or tracking raid mobs. That way I can chill on the couch and watch some tube yet still monitor my chat windows and hit 'track' every 15 seconds. Actually playing the game would be near impossible however.

A netbook would be a better bet since you could run the full client.
