Hopelessly addicted to life in New Eden, maybe to the point of wishing you could take EVE Online with you on the go? Well, that day may be closer than you think if one of CCP's EVE Fanfest 2011 demos is any indication.
The Icelandic development firm showed off a new project designed to run a streamlined version of EVE on Nvidia-based Tegra 2 mobile hardware (that excludes iOS devices, for the non-technical Apple consumers in the audience). The demo was basically a render of EVE's ship fitting interface, shown running on a tablet and a phone, with the future intent being to provide limited functionality sans a PC (think market transactions and skill queue management). According to Gamasutra, CCP has yet to announce a release date for the project.

Market transactions and skill que management on my phone? That'll be quite handy. Suppose I could play some 0.01 ISK market order wars during my lunchbreak or something.

Interesting how it's being developed for Android first.
Would that have anything to do with the AppStore new policy on services (forcing any app that depends on a service to also sell the service inside the AppStore itself, and taking a 30% cut on any service sold through the AppStore)?

@kgptzac I know at least the motorola Atrix has it. I think there is another, aslo the xoom tablet. I m holding out for an htc phone with it.
I am glad this isn't just for iOS. Those phones suck compared to androids. Apple is usually last to the party when it comes to hardware. imo imo imo :)

I read this as I sit at work using my laptop and mobile 3g WiFi hotspot on my droid x to do some shopping and set some skills in eve, and I think that could be handy lol. The android market place has a great app called Aura that lets you monitor your training in eve and plan out what steps you want to take next. It does a few more useful things but that is mostly what I use it for.
