Not enough GPU,

Switch to a Android running new Nvidia Tegra quad core. Those things should atleast be able to handle the basic gameplay.

Apple is way behind the times in terms of their processors.

CCP isn't going to attempt to support another OS like that. They only really support one OS (Windows). The two other OSes that it's kinda supported on (OSX and Linux) are only partially supported via Wine. It's not going to happen.

Massive, as in text based only? Sure why not, at least you'll have a reason to use it. Roll

The newer androids with a proper adjustment could theoretically run Eve, but I am not sure if anyone has tried it yet.

Seriously, I'd love to get my Asus Transformer Prime to run the game, while I am on the road.

Can someone tech savvy tell me if it is possible and how to do it?

you may be able to setup one of those 'control my PC' type programs on your iPad.

gotomypc is one that may work.

The only drawback is that your home computer will have to be on all the time.

An iPad or general tablet "add-on" would be kinda cool. Be able to be logged in through your computer and be able to connect your tablet as well. Have detailed diagnostics of your ship update in real time. It would add another interesting detail to playing EVE.

Sorry to go off topic, but does anyone see the resemblance between Sparky11080 and Mr 'Prez' Pryzblewski from The Wire???

I've done this with my Xoom via the Splashtop app for Android (there is one for iOS too). It works okay for minimal stuff.

An official Eve app would be cool but not really something I want them working on (they can barely get the current game right).

Someone from another forum confirmed this. Anyone else with experience?
