Streamed: issue is latency of course. To feel like you're directly manipulating something, you need sub-100ms end-to-end latency.
Any device: great UI depends on form factor of the device. This is one, though not the only reason, why WindowsCE sucked - they tried to squish the Windows/Start Menu paradigm onto a different form factor for which it was originally designed. iOS and Touch ate them up.
