That would ROCK

Processing-wise but it still needs to be developed for the ARM architecture. So Crytek would need to rework the code for Crysis 1&2 otherwise it won't play on ARM phones. The only other chance is if Crysis 3 is written both x86 and ARM.

That'd be sweet to say: "My phone can play Crysis bitches, what can yours do?" :D It'd also make a LAN party incredibly easy but of course you would still want the mouse and keyboard

if the processor gets stuck the work around would be using parts of the brains logic to solve. this would be for simple math like 1235456457x23526245/2352423(232342x134213)-23523^345 not 1x+5y(4-x^3)=p logic math, it would accelerate the (1x42)+(5x53)((4)-(42^3))=p but not instantly solve it though it probably could... but again, need some amount of brain logic to route where numbers go.

Didn't we have Spock asking the computer for the last digit of pi recently in another thread?

it doesn't do much good if you can only play for 5 min...we need better batteries not better cell phones
