I probably spend as much or more time on it reading email, blog posts, and forums as I do my laptop. I love the games (Geo-Defense Swarm is the latest addiction). Could not tolerate my commute without the podcasts, audio books, and music. It's already teh best damn thing since sliced bread. An EVE game on it would make it just that much better.<br /><br />Like you, I have a low tech cell phone; iPhone seemed like a dumb expense when you spend 99% of your time on a farm where there is no cell service. However, with the job and commute I have now, I'm reconsidering an iPhone because then at least with a data package, I could do some "fun" Web-based stuff at work at lunch (gov't LAN security precludes this on my work computer).<br /><br />@Hallan: You are intriguingly eccentric; almost a Luddite! That's just part of your charm, I guess. I miss flying with you.Carole Pivarnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787775846290065794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574114473524465.post-91113528207486324622009-09-29T19:00:54.476-07:002009-09-29T19:00:54.476-07:00Mobiles will be good to a certain degree, but I do...Mobiles will be good to a certain degree, but I do hope CCP sticks to the main server based application and doesn't go awry by investing too much time and effort into Mobile devices.<br /><br />I am very much like yourself in that I have rarely used mobile devices especially for gaming. Now I am old school, so who knows what this new generation may want or expect.<br /><br />It may be also the landscape of mobile devices could change radically in another decade where playing EvE Online from one of these devices might be more feasible (e.g. roll-up display screens that you can put in your backpack, server based processing, etc)Dante Edmundohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928266437386274099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574114473524465.post-72380766086156838772009-09-29T10:35:50.664-07:002009-09-29T10:35:50.664-07:00At Latro: I am one of them kids, just not with the...At Latro: I am one of them kids, just not with the times I suppose.<br /><br />At Ga'Len: How exactly does an internet device work then?Hallan Turrekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09815269368592695461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574114473524465.post-45759181885719088192009-09-29T07:53:23.714-07:002009-09-29T07:53:23.714-07:00I will be honest.

I will most likely never buy an iPhone as I have holding a brick up to my ear.<br /><br />Internet devices, such as the Touch or a tablet like device would really be the focus here. Something on a phone is just not realistic as the screen is too bloody small.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574114473524465.post-23538212514551710962009-09-29T05:22:09.447-07:002009-09-29T05:22:09.447-07:00Whew!!

Other than that, it stays in my car or in a basket at the house. At my age, I can't see al those tiny keys and could not even imagine how one would play a game like EvE on an itty-bitty phone. Bah, them kids!! :-)Latrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788342809089685009noreply@blogger.com
