Na, I wasn't posting for multi-boxing reasons per se, more for just an optional way to check on thing when at the in-laws or whatever.

But multiboxing this way might be the way for low end pc's but I can imagine it bumps the latency. Great for checking the AH, etc.

They need to make this for the iPhone. Could you imagine?... I get like 4mb/s on wifi with my iphone, and that's enough to use one of these services. 60fps WoW on the iphone? It's totally possible. ( just probably a little delayed. )

What was that? Wow on a cell phone?

How about Crysis on a cell phone ('http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/22/exclusive-otoy-goes-mobile-turns-your-cell-phone-into-a-powerful-gaming-rig/') ?

Its coming.. I am personally a fan of OnLive ('http://www.onlive.com') though :)

Oh, and Wow on an iPhone ('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFZA6gRK4qs') using remote desktop like clients has been doable for a while :)

This may work out as a way to check the AH or mailbox in the future. But other than that, I don't know if it will work. Having the server run the application? What happens when there are five people on that PC? Ten people?
