just wanted to share with you guys my new setup. it's an app called splashtop that turn your computer into your little on-live for ipad. I use it to play civ 5 on my ipad. Cool isn't it?
On 3gs or internet, i don't know just how secure or bandwith consuming it is. I plan to use this on my local network only. On a local network its as secure as your network i guess. Maybe it would be cool to ask the company some technical details and post it here.

I would kind of expect it to use quite a bit of bandwidth. Obviously your ipad isn't doing any calculations, so it must just be high resolution video streaming combined with the ipad sending your mouseclicks back to the home computer. It should use as much bandwidth as comparable video streaming. Except I would
The ability to use it from your living room couch alone should easily be worth the two bucks though. Like franlato said, it should be as secure as your wireless in that situation.
How does it handle things that are dependent only on position of the mouse like panning around the map?
Edit: I watched their video on it, some of the mouse commands wouldn't be compatible with playing civ, are those customizable?
oh man, I have that keyboard since the time when my computer ran with steam instead of electricity.
