It wouldn't be a good idea. The idea behind distributed computing is to use all spare CPU cycles, which means it runs the processor at 100% all the time. Doing that on mobile devices would kill the battery life. I think the most people have done is create BOINC apps that you can use to check your credits, etc., but not actual processing. |

Actually, someone started on the project and discovered there were several problems. I am not exactly certain what, but I believe the project was dropped. BOINC WIKI |
