I except for using the market and setting up skills etc, i really can't see why anyone would want to run eve on the ipad, and i don't think anyone would port the game to a mobile device just for doing character administration.
Still the iDroid and linux for iphone is showing some really fast progress, and eve does have an linux client. It will properly need alot of work to get the eve linux client to run on idevices, and i'm not even sure if the idevice platforms have the hardware resources to support the game.
There may also be some legal issues in porting the linux client to idevices, you would need a jailbroken device to be able to install and run linux on the device, and i think apple properly would take legal steps to prevent other companies from using jailbroken idevices to run proprietary software.

But there's a deeper issue here, surely: the Jobsian campaign against Adobe means that the only language you're allowed to write iP{ad|hone} programs in is Objective-C. Interpreters and virtual machines are strictly forbidden. Since most of EVE is written in Python, it would require a Python interpreter which means Apple would never let it get on the App Store...
Python has been ported to iDevices and is part of the standard cydia package repository, but i think you are right when it comes to never seeing it as part of the app store software collection.

Now, this is virtualization mirrored off a PC.
Is the the geeky way of saying you are using remote desktop or vnc?
I use remote desktop alot on my iphone, but not for games. First thing i tryed when i read this thread was to see if i could execute eve using remote desktop. It does not work, which properly have to do with the underlying technology used for multipoint application sharing.
Still i would think vnc would work, yes?

Why not just go to your PC in the first place. 
Why not live the dream and stay in bed?

if only because Eve's code is bloated and ugly, lacks any coherent spport of any hardware, and works with only a few crashes at best on the best systems.
lol.. love how you use any chance to whine about how you can't get EVE running on your mac :) it's not the software that's the problem.

lets see if I can put it this way. A company that claims support but offers **** al, is not a company you want to deal with. people get sued for running companies like that.
I see you are one angry little boy. Can you show me on the bear where the bad man touched you?

If you jailbreak it, well, infinite possibilities.
Not really, even on jail broken devices you would still need to connect to a windows hodt running the eve client. The options for accessing an directx application running on a windows host, seems at the moment to be the same for jail broken and non jail borken devices.
This may change in the future, but as it stand now the possibilities are the same.

GUYS GUYS, IPAD IS THE FUTURE! IT IS A REVOLUTIONARY DEVICE!
oh wait... rofl
Are you trying to say that tablet computers is nothing new?, seems like that is stating the obvious. It's kinda silly to look at the hardware, when the revolutionary component is the software.

You are perfectly right. The quad core CPU and high end video card in my PC aren't relevant, it's Windows 7 that's the important thing. Very much like the iPad, that runs the iPhone OS... So, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to throw away this piece of rubbish, buy myself a 386, install Win 7 and enjoy the pleasures this great OS has brought me.
Trying to compare workstation pc's and tablet computers is just stupid, just as stupid as trying to compare iOS and windows 7.
