Oh, sure -- you've got a smorgasbord of virtual machine clients out
there for the iDevice in your life, but you haven't had this one.
Until today, of course. Splashtop (the former DeviceVM) has just
unleashed its Remote Desktop app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad,
enabling users to funnel Windows PC content onto their handheld. The
catch is an obvious one -- you'll need a WiFi connection to make the
magic happen, though we're assuming you wouldn't even want to imagine
how sluggish the process would be over 3G. The company claims that
this app will let users "watch movies, listen to music, or access any
other Windows files and programs, including full web browsers with
Flash," and you'll need a WiFi-connected Win7, Vista or WinXP machine
nearby to take advantage. We've got a feeling this won't work nearly
as well as advertised (sorry, it's just the nature of tunneling /
emulation), but those willing to take the plunge can tap into the App
Store as we speak.
