I posted in the forums about this, and I'll continue with a blog entry as well: Desura needs to be portable!
As things are, there really isn't a service like this on-the-go. Yes, I know On-Live is available on the IPad now, but that's not exactly the same thing, is it?
The main reason we haven't seen Steam or Desura go portable is because of the resources necessary in terms of processing power, but really I think there are ways to slim things down to help with this. (Things like simpler design with fewer graphics, optimized settings for smaller screens, etc.)
My hope for Desura is that in the near future I'll be able to put this great service (and the great games I have through it) on my Dingoo! I also would love to see Desura go portable on a TON of platforms before Steam does. Not that I hate Steam, but I do prefer the way Desura does things.
If you're reading this and you would also like to see Desura go portable SPEAK UP NOW! Find my thread in the forums and post to make sure Desura knows there are a lot of people interested in this! If you know how, maybe take advantage of the open nature of the program and see if you can make it work! (I'm just starting to learn programming in C... after I know more this is definitely something I'll be working on.)
Till then, I'll keep the dream alive as best as I can.
