    Had this up in OT. Forgot nobody playes poker over there

    What you will need.

    Jailbroken iPhone or Touch
    WiFi connection
    VNC Server
    Touchpad Pro with activation

    First step is to download a VNC program. I got mine free from google's website. Install it on the machine you play poker on. open the program and set the network password.

    Next go into installer on your jailbroken phone or touch and download Touchpad Pro. In touchpad enter your IP address as well as the network password that you set. You will now be able to use your phone or touch as a wireless mouse to control your computer.

    Last step is to pay for activation through Touchpad. It gives you the option to buy when you open the program on the phone. Costs $15 shipped through paypal. The activation enables screenview. Now you can see your computer screen on the Phone or touch as you scroll around.

    I've been playing on bodog on my phone in my WiFi network at work. Pretty smooth, little bit of lag but no real problems.

    As for security issues, as long as you stay logged on on your home computer you are never sending your password over the system.

    You can use this to access your home computer for anything any time you are in WiFi.

    idk if it's the same kinda thing but kids i played socom with claim they figured out how to use skype on the ipod touch. the guy at the apple store said it was impossible because you couldnt download programs yet. he claims they're working on something where you'll be able to download in the future.

    Are you sure about this? Isnt the VNC password being sent so that you can connect to your PC? I would make sure you have a very secure VNC password and would change the default port also. I would also be carful connecting through public unencrypted hotspots.
