Sorry I haven't been active at all lately, I've been scrambling with school, but I just thought I'd share with you all something pretty cool. Petz mobile... sort of: iPhones/iPod Touch/iPads have an app called iTeleport that allows the user to access, view, control, and run programs on their home computer (Mac or PC, better on Mac) remotely (if you've seen those "to the Windows Cloud!" commercials, I think it is that kind of programming, VNC server). The computer has to be on (but I think you can leave the monitor off), but you can essentially run anything from anywhere, so long as there is 3G (a bit laggy) or WiFi. The colors are sometimes slightly off and connecting can be a bit wacky (given that I am running a Windows computer from Apple hardware), but it works. I assume it runs better on an iPad or newer phone. So, I used this to play Petz from my phone! I can't right click drag and there is no sound, but everything else works - picking up toys, petting the petz, etc. Even hexing, if you can put up with wacky colors on PWS or are skilled with LNZ, works. I'll try to take a video at some point. It basically works with any program, not just Petz, because the remote computer is doing the work and not the phone. Photoshop works, although it is color intensive and therefore not so great mobile. Nevertheless, a cool new feature for smart phones and such.

I agree that it's a great idea! I'm currently downloading teamveiw(which has a free one) so I'll have to wait for the morning when my computor is on to test it, but we'll see! I was like "What the hey, it's free, why not?" XD

Oh goodness gracious I'm glad I don't have any kind of Iphone, pad, pod, etc. I spend too much time playing Petz on my computer as it is! If I had an Ipad and ran my computer through it... oh man. I would really become a Petz addict! (not to mention, never get anything done in class)
