Next step: run an EQEmu server on an iPhone?

i wonder if it could possibly handle a minilogin setup...
would think so eh?

would be kinda cool having a portable eq game to play while using the restroom or whatever.

I could see it doing one or the other, especially if SimpleClient was usable on Linux (or maybe just use WINE/Cedega?). However, it appears the iPhone/iPod Touch run at 412 MHz & 532 MHz, respectively (source), plus it looks to only have 128 MB of RAM (although with Linux, you could utilize a swapfile), so it probably couldn't handle both at the same time.
