Tomorrow's World Today!
When last we spoke, I had just demonstrated 12 clients, running on five screens. Of course, at the time, the question in the air was, where can we go from here? Have the screens got even larger? The answer is, no. Quite the reverse.
Apologies for the ropey quality of the film. I have a better video camera, but unfortunately it's installed in the device I'm filming.
Fake? No. Top sekrit experimental iPhone client? No. 
The client runs on my home machine, which I can log into using a Remote Desktop client. It's not the most responsive client in the world - Swordfighting was utterly impossible, though I think Drinking might be a possibility. But certainly, it's now possible for me to log on and hassle you, wherever I am in the world.
Practical? No. We do not do these things because they are easy, we do them because they are stupid. But it does mean I can write this blog entry for you from this rollercoaster. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

That is awesome! I'm on my iPod right now and the first thing that came to mind is that I wish I could do that!

This new technology is quite spiffing, isn't it?
Ability to puzzle or no, I'm sure I'd spend ALL DAY pestering my mates in-game, if I could do that. (And they, in turn, would mock me with their ability to type at a reasonable speed.)
Fortunately for us all, the point is moot. My phone doesn't even have a color display. I have 100x80 pixels of bold black text on a green backlit screen.
Surely 2003 wasn't THAT long ago...

The Android has a built in java web browser...I have played Y!PP from my G1 phone. It's a pain over the edge network, but while on 3G it flies.
