JaNnN 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I know mobile phones use java and such. But if you have one of these hypernew type phones with all the stuff you don't need and quick internet, would it be possible to for instance play pokerstars or something like that?Much appriciated,Jan Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 The only way I'm aware of that you can play poker online from your phone is by using one of the iPhone VNC apps in conjunction with your home PC. iPhone has a few VNC applications that can be used to basically have full control over your home PC from the iPhone, and I've seen video of people using them to play poker online. I've never done it personally, and from what I understand it's sketchy, slow and unreliable at best, but it can be done. Link to post Share on other sites

antistuff 0 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 this would be so great. not so i could play it, but because i think people who play this way would tend to play very poorly. Link to post Share on other sites
JaNnN 0 Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 I take the train regularly and it would be great to play some on my mobile. It's such a hassle to use your laptop and portable internetcard. Just one table on a small screen at the micros. That's all I need.I'm going to contact PokerStars why they havn't invented this yet...

Citizen Erased 0 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Most everything Java or Shockwave does not work with the iPhone, unfortunately.Little fact for you:Apple advertised the iPhone with the slogan, "the whole Internet in a phone", but because it does not support Java or Shockwave, they were forced to chance their advertisement.

Everlast11 0 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Just last night i was in a $20NL SNG on Pstars that ran longer than I expected. I had to go out and it would have been nice to be able to play on a phone rather than sitting out hands and getting blinded out. Link to post Share on other sites

JaNnN 0 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Ok very cool. But will this app only work in a short range so you can sit on the couch with your I-phone? Or can you actually use it while traveling?Jan Link to post Share on other sites
shane21 0 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 its only a matter of time before technology catches up and it will be done. kinda scary really i play enough as it is imagine if i could just play anywhere, anytime. i'd have to carry around a couple spare batteries for the phone though Link to post Share on other sites

Woodbelly 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I have windows mobile on my cell. I saw this thread and was intrigued. I was able to successfully play poker stars from my phone, even though it was ugly it worked.1. I had to download Remote Desktop Client for Windows Mobile 62. Install it on my phone3. Go into my router and setup forward port 3389 to my home pc that has poker stars installed.4. Launch Remote Desktop on the phone and set the display to 256 colors (this helped the performance greatly)5. Input your home's public ip address into the computer field and input the username and password to your home pc and tap connect.6. Now, the screen on my phone is only 640X480 and Pokerstars gave me a pop up warning.7. Login to Pokerstars8. once you start a table you have to size it down as small as it will go (i suggest pulling it down from the top left)It looks like crap (the cards and chips are clear enough) and is a pain in the butt to setup but if you're hardcore and have windows mobile it's a fun little project. I don't have a digital camera except for the one on my phone or i would post a pic. Link to post Share on other sites

reppinToronto 0 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Well because I'm new to this forum and don't want people to get angry that I didn't use the search feature I'll just ask my question here. I live in Canada and the data plans for the iphone are 500mb and 1gb I think. I have a crap easy job on a night shift with no internet connection! And of course I'd love to play poker on my iphone (if I buy one). From what I've read logmein allows you to play poker stars so I'm all for it. My question is how much bandwidth will be used each month to run logmein then run pokerstars on my iphone? I'd probablly log a good 20 hours/week playing only one table (small screen), from work. I have tried to google this but it came up a blank. Maybe someone will have better luck, or know from experience.Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
