OnLive gets Xperia Play support, iPad app still MIA

The sony Ericsson Xperia Engage in was a bit of a dud. The long-rumored Ps3 Cellphone integrated a awesome concept — put a slide-out actual operator on an Operating system phone — but old PS1 games were not enough to get most individuals energized (Crash Bandicoot was awesome in 1997, but not so much in 2011).

As the App Website's vacation lock up begins today, we probably will not see the app until after the New Season (at the earliest). OnLive has been mum on the wait, only saying
