Pretty cool, can't wait to see the pics.

You need the computer you play coh on to be on a wireless network.
You need about one gig of ram.
An iPhone 1st gen and 2nd gen or an Ipod touch, updated to 2.0 firmware.
An iTunes account.
A full charged battery (it sucks battery so be prepared)
The latest version of TightVNC.
Send me a PM if you absolutely can't wait for me to type up a full guide.

Almost makes me wonder if you could get WolfET to play...

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
The question is, "Can you set it up to play over the internet from work?" 
So are you saying you're using the iPhone to run the Co* client, or are you using the networking capabilities of the iPhone to provide the internet connection?
Because one isn't very impressive, but the other would be....a very good reason to buy a iPhone for me...
As cool as that is, I couldn't imagine trying to play on, what, a 3" screen". Geez...unplug sometimes 
Dude! If this works...so help me I will buy one of those expensive things!

Combine that with these maybe.

Looks like he's running CoX on his home computer, and using VNC to remote in and control/view it from the iPhone. I've contemplated this extensively myself, for playing away from home on "graphically impaired" computers. Your home computer is doing all the rendering, all the one you're sitting at needs is a network connection and video.

Pictures!!!
Guide is still comin' up! but these are some pictures for ya to look at, As you can tell its not exactly the same as Im only getting about 10 FPS, however making a quick-drop in game from your phone to check the market or send a buddy a tell is very plausible.

Impressive indeed.
Very impressive. Costume design during boring meetings, anyone?

Darn, now the Ebil Marketeers will always be able to control the market. We used to be able to buy stuff at decent prices when they went to work, but now with this nefarious invention, they will always be there.

Will we ever be free from their ebil grasp?

But seriously...cool stuff!
Okay here is the setup instructions for how to get your Iphone to "Play" CoX.
Step one:
Go to http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html and download the first option under "Windows" Called "tightvnc-1.3.9-setup.exe"
(When installing and you come to the screen saying Select Additional Task be sure to check all three boxes UNLESS your running vista, which in that case you'd leave all three boxes blank)
Step 2:
After installation TightVNC should start itself. When the widow comes up put a password inside the "Set Password" Category and then repeat the same password right below it, then click apply. That officially opens up the server.
Step 3:
Get your iphone and or touch and take it the home screen, you'll need to have an Itunes account for you'll be using your Itunes "App store" in order to get this app.
Step 4:
Open the App Store Icon. (The one that comes with the phone, not the installer) and click the search tab. Type in "VNC" and a few opitions will come up on the list. The two you should look for is Mocha VNC lite and Mocha VNC. If you just wanna try things out download and install "Mocha VNC lite" As its free but if you really do plan on using it often I'd buy the 5.99 full version just for more stability and of course the extra features. (The pictures were taken from the Free version of the software)
Step 4:
Once the software is installed go the home screen on your Iphone and open the app. There will be a button called "Connect" in the top right corner, click it and enter the IP Address shown in the bottom left hand corner of your desktop's screen where the "TightVNC" Icon should be in your toolbar. Mouse over the Icon and enter the IP address that pops up, into the phone. Then enter the password and select the "connect" button in the top right.
Step 5:
Once you've gotten' everything worked out, and you have control over your PC from the phone I suggest you t ake the time now to drop your connect between VNC by shutting down the app on your computer.
Step 6:
For best performance, quickly start up city of heroes, log in and get into one of your characters so you can access the options menu.
My suggestion would be to turn the resolution to 800 X 600 and lower the refresh rate, graphics and 3D resolution to the lowest settings possible. I also suggest that you make your power bars, icons and such to about 80 percent on the slider so that you can view everything in your Iphone's window at the same time once you position the windows in game. If all of this is done correctly you'll manage about 10 FPS on your Iphone which is enough to move about, check emails, send tells and check up on the market. However I do NOT suggest things like ..fighting? TFs and 8-man MM teams are attempted VIA your phone.
Step 7:
Shut down your game after setting the new options. (Exit completely to the desktop.)
Start up the VNC app on your phone and connect to your computer.
Once the connection is made, start up CoH once again.
Step 8:
Move your in-game windows around (On your computer) as well as your adjusting your zoom on the phone's app so that all HUD can be seen in one picture.
Step 9:
Enjoy, and use the "refresh" button in the Iphone's VNC app should the screen get stuck.

That's pretty cool. I'm familiar with VNC. I've used it quite a bit. This would be good if you wanted to log into CoX, shop at the auction house, modify your base, buy and sell, design costume changes.... all the non-combat things that you may want to do. You can do them now during lunch breaks at work or other places, and have them all taken care of when you get home.

It may just be that I deal with Remote Control programs all day at work, but I am not that impressed. You can do the same thing with any Windows Mobile based device, or even VNC from a Linux box. Probably a client for Palm too, VNC is very portable over platforms.

I'm not very impressed with you being unimpressed. It's not very impressive that you work with Remote programs all day either. But that could just be because I sit on the forums all day long at work and see many worthless post that never needed to be made.
That's what I love about VNC: If it has a screen and a keyboard/keypad, it can probably use it.
And I swear my above post wasn't pertaining to using this technique on my work computer.

I'd have to agree the tone of his post left a lot to be desired, but he's making a reasonable point that this isn't inherently some magic iPhone goodness. This can be done with any device that can run VNC (which is a ton) that has decent resolution and connectivity. That said, *I* still think it's pretty nifty.
