I just tried playing EVE on my touchscreen monitor (22" Dell IPS) ... and it freaking rocks!

Using just one finger, it is possible to rapidly spin the camera and then double tap to reorient the ship. I have never been "pro" at manually flying EVE ships, but using a touchscreen I was able to fly around a can with tremendous ease in a fast frigate at close range.

If you have the cash to burn and want to try something new.. it was definitely an experience. I would keep a keyboard and mouse handy though! (Not responsible for lost shineys!)

Reason why I'd love to see an android client for the new/more powerful tablets (i.e. Tegra 3, maybe Tegra 2). :)

Screw tablets. They don't have the horsepower or the battery life to support MMOs or graphically-intensive games. Then there's the cooling issue for the graphics card and the main processor (tablets don't have vents.)

Far too many issues that aren't going to get solved any time soon.

ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO MADE US STOP MANNED SPACEFLIGHT! I'm sorry.

Would love to see a video of said touchscreen flight.

I wouldn't expect the graphical quality of the current PC version, but the latest tablets should be able to handly most stuff we've seen on consoles (or PC) some years ago. There was once a time where MMOs weren't about the most shiny graphics and it still worked. Main issue I see would be just the amount of work required to create a working client and keeping it maintained.

This. I was sure I had seen it done already.

You know, this really intrigues me. Not enough to buy a touchscreen monitor, but I can imagine how it would be cool.

Yes, but can touching the monitor help you on a super secret combat patrol in a Drake doing 600 EM DPS per second?Lol

I'd be interested to see what developments they make for apps.

Having a tablet next to the monitor for some sort of interaction with the main client would be nice...

weapons control
market watching
intel alerts
number of Dust bunnies on a given planet that need orbital bombardment
eve-voice controls
fleet comms controls

or even

a big red button for warp.

jus' throwing it out there...

if ccp wants to go mobile, ipad is the only way, and thats based on sales and market share, not the fact that i prefer apple for mobile devices Lol

Won't be long before your arm aches. Or you end up building one arm muscles and look like an Olympic javelin gold medal contender.
