Remote PS3 gaming on iOS devices shown off
Pandaelf's everyAir app ($4.99, App Store) for iOS devices will soon allow gamers to take their PS3 games mobile. The current app lets users remotely control their Mac or Windows PCs from an iPhone, iPod or iPad. In the video demo, control of the PS3 is done via drawing symbols on the touchscreen that correspond to the PS3's buttons.
To do so requires extra gear at this stage, however. An input interpreter such as a PS3 Eagle Eye Mouse or KB Converter is one of them, and the PS3 and TV need to be connected to a Capture Device such as Hauppauge HD DVR or DVR Platinum. A host Mac or Windows PC also need to be running the everyAir server beta build.
In the future and with Sony's permission, Pandaelf hopes to get rid of these hardware components. The public can't yet get the version of everyAir that would allow for remote PS3 gaming. A version of the software for the Xbox 360 could also be developed. [ Redmond Pie]

Good grief.
So i can sue a $4.99 app to control a PS3 provided I also buy a couple of hundred's worth of extra kit and turn my living room into a wiring loom? Thanks, no really, honestly, thank you. I'm sure it sounded like a good idea at the time.
Maybe they'd be better off offering to make a PS3 Remote Play app, and asking Sony for the protocol spec to do so. Just a thought.
