It won’t frikken work. Think about the crazy latency you would encounter. Novel Idea though.

It’s basically hi speed video streaming. Still quite nifty though.

can’t you (or won’t you be able to soon), take a PSP, use the Wifi connection over the internet and stream stuff from the PS3 ?

I remember hearing murmurs about that.

(on the original PSP that’s a little useless because the WiFi functionality chows the battery, I heard it’s better on the PSP lite)

Nice. Not a new idea tho. Some guy wrote a article a few months ago on how MS should do this with a handheld.
Stream via 360 to device, etc.

Glad to see that the idea is out there and being looked at now.

i think your biggest limitation (well for gaming) is the interface of the cellphone. Unless you use a purpose built cellphone like an N-Gage where the phone is actually designed around the fact that it will also be used for gaming.

With other media related stuff (getting on-demand movies/shows/music) would be awesome.

“Oh crap i’m stuck waiting for something, ok, let me stream the latest episode of Chuck to my phone”.

Amazing! Now companies can release handheld gaming consoles without any heavy processors or display cards, the computer does the processing for you. It will be intersting to see to where this leads.
