Yeah, let me just install CS5 on my phone and get rid of my laptop.

I should probably also sell my TV, since my phone can play video...

lol, you could sell your TV, and keep your cable box if you wanted, that is the point of Slingbox...

And the Epic can game at 60 FPS over a 3G network...So...honestly, CSS mobile is not a far fetched Idea

Most droids are actually mini pc's. For example, ive got usb host on my droidx so i can plug a usb (with adaptor to mini) keyboard into my phone

Cell phones are the shit...

I said CS5... not CSS. Look it up.

And it doesn't matter how fast your CPU is. If you honestly think you can game competitively on a 3" touch-screen... you're dreaming.

Do you own a TV? How about a computer?

damn dude, so much animosity towards phones....did one touch you when you were younger or something veo?

Kraker,

Lots of the other Americans I work with here have a SlingBox set up at a family member's house back in the USA. We only get AFN or German TV here so it is a really good way to get (real) USA programing. I have one friend who does have the iPhone app for his SlingBox. It works pretty good. As always, your mileage may vary.

I have an Android phone. I love it. But I'd be delusional if I said it were a replacement for my PC or my TV. What is IS a replacement for, is my old shitty phone.
