How OnLive Works

The concept behind OnLive is not unlike VNC or other remote-desktop protocols: the client (you) simply sends input to a remote machine and receives visual and audio data back. The actual processing is done on OnLive’s servers, and all you need to do is provide a machine fast enough to handle the video stream it’s pushing out during gameplay. This means even comparatively weak devices like smartphones can play the latest PC titles, often with visuals that would simply be impossible for the native hardware to render on it’s own.

Sounds like quite a neat idea.
