It requires at least 3 Mbits per second broadband to play the games, which is currently impossible in my country.

I'm currently thinking of getting a flyer and having something like this could be really cool. But I wonder if the 1.5 ghz single-core will be able to handle the job. Or will it be fine given the service is streaming ?

Today I've checked htc website, they removed every thing about OnLive, you cannot find anything about it any more, even there is nothing on manual. I guess its gone. So sad

OnLive does not appear to be present on the Flyer. There is no app, no mention in the manual, nothing.

I think it will come back. They didn't make an investment for nothing. Hopefully they are working on optimizing it. But it looked fine back in MWC, and the service works well using the OnLive Gaming Console and on my Macbook Air.

But I hate the fact they won't mention it at all in the marketing or through their Twitter account.
