CCP, Can Eve run on the iphone?... if not is it on the cards?
I don't think that i'm the only one that would buy an iphone just for this purpose.

It seems a little extreme to make any specific development effort on what is still a niche device. Still, a general mobile EVE effort was being worked on at one point, limited to certain aspects of the game such as skill changing and such. Not full gameplay, though.
Not sure whatever happened with that, every so often they say it's still being worked on, but... *shrug*

instead buy a mini computer, they are handheld computers that gofor like 1500$ but they will play eve and then some and aren't much bigger than an i-phone.
However I'm sure someone out there could mod the phone to play eve.

form what I understand it's more or less done jsut it only works on windows mobile.
which is pretty lame because I have windows mobile :P and wouldn't mind getting that prototype.but I'm sure it's bug ridden to hell come to think of it.

The only applications that can be developed for the iphone, are ones that plug into the safari broswer. This is what apple is allowing third parties to do. If ccp were to do this (as a broswer plug in) then you wouldnt need a iphone at all.
CCP were making EVE lite, developed by a group of students from the nearby university. They graduated and went on to other things unfortunatly. It was going to be playable on windows mobile 5 or greater devices and would be a much better idea than a iphone only application as there are far more windows mobile pda's.
Also considering you can make proper exe's (in the mobile format) and fully fedged programs for wm its much better

REMOTE DESKTOP
I've "played" (Chat/Change a skill) EVE on my BlackBerry. If there is a remote desktop app for the iPhone (Which there is, RMD+)
Then there you go, EVE on your iPhone.

Well, the new iPhone Developer pack should be out now or very soon. This will allow programs to be written for the iPhone / iPod touch that dont need the browser.
Personally i would love a version for the iPod Touch as it means I can sit in work and play when I am bored....

Why would CCP want to design a program to run on obsolete hardware? Concentrate on platforms that are pushing new tech out, palms and windows mobile devices.

Surely Windows Mobile would be the obviously choice as a mobile platform if ccp ever went down that avenue.

The iPhone would need like 100x its current power. It is a weak crap phone. You would have better luck with an n95 or something. But still massively away from the goal just in computational power.

If you want mobile: I get 10 fps running eve from a usb 2 HDD hooked up to my eee pc 701 fitted with 2gb memory.
The 800 x 600 res, (using XP and Bassam's screen stretch util on lazertags hacked drivers) is a bit annoying though.

There was talk once of a PDA EVE client that would let you set skill training, etc.
That would be a very nice thing.

Australia's high speed network is 3G and the iphone has been adapted to 3G for the very purpose of being operable here.
The iphone also runs a lite version of OS X so im sure the Mac client could probably run on the phone. Whether or not it has enough processing power to be able to run it well is another question.

The iphone operates on flash memory, so I doubt it could run anything beyond an internet browser or mp3 player. Eve would difficult to put on it given the processing/graphics requirements. If you brought Eve down to the level of a text adventure, however...
But for the record, iphones do rock. Oh yeah. I <3 my iphone.

Perhaps something more basic would suffice for now... Contemplate a simple app that uses the API key to look up your skills, and then add some time tracking and the ability to add a calendar notification when the skill is up
Or just port EVE MON to the iPhone... It would be nice if the EVE MON crew made even a simplified version for the Apps store

How many threads need to be started about this????
Yes, iPhone is a nice little phone, but you don't see threads with requests for Eve migration to any other pocket PC, right? You know why?
Those people realise it is semi-impossible for a pocket PC to run Eve. Making a new application just for chatting or skillchanging would take valuable resources away from projects that really matter.

The Eve Magic Widget works on any phone that is internets browser capable...I know you can watch your skills,pos fuel,transactions and stuff but as for an alarm when your skills finish....it may be possible.Or just set your phones calender alarm to go off if you can be bothered setting it every skill. |

When mobile devices start supporting 1024x768 (Eves minimun resolution) then you might see a normal client ported to it.

If PCs have framerate issues, what kind of framerate were you hoping to get on an iPhone?

According to John Carmack the iPhone is as powerful as a playstation 2. The processing power is there but it sure isn't worth the manhours you would need to invest to port it for that device.
