Citrix has an Android Receiver app that allows you to connect to a Citrix virtual machine. I have used it to connect to my Citrix hosted Win 7 virtual worstation at work and it's fantastic. Now, I wouldn't say that I'd want to use it all the time. But I'm a system adminstrator and I'm on call 24 hours a day once every four weeks, and in a pinch, and paired with a iGo folding bluetooth keyboard and a 4G tethering phone it allows me to address a crisis at work from practically anywhere.

That OnLive Win 7 desktop is probably going to present a similar experience, and depending on your needs you might find it quite useful.

The way I see it, the concept is exciting and geeky, but not very useful, especially on Flyer.

Ability to connect to your own PC is a lot more useful, but less exciting (been done several years ago).

I downloaded it for my Ipad. I find it utterly craptastic. I could not do anything with it but Office. I already have this from work and my home computers but with much more functionality. It's a little better then RDP on a good connection but nothing to write home about. I should pull my Ipad sim from my laptop and try it with 3G maybe their secret sauce works well over cell networks. At th time, I was just not impressed to go through the effort of getting my laptop and pulling the sim. Its a PITA to put the micro and adapter back in the laptop.

anyone got a copy of this working? i can't get it from the market says it's not compatible with my flyer.. thats a load of crap considering i have the onlive player on my tab already wtf it says htc jetstream is in working devices list .. means we should be able to too! even if we only have one core damnit

Jump desktop is only 99 cents and works brilliantly on the flyer.

In general I find the onlive service gimmicky at best... It's over priced compared to console gaming with interior graphics and while cheaper than PC gaming it offers none of the benefits. I would not bother with anything they release for the most part.. There are better solutions for anything you would want to do. The service works better than I thought it would, which means it isn'ta key logger and it works to some degree... Bit still but worth it.
