You want access to your desktop from your tablet device  ?  \"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have been trying several of the available apps to remotely access my desktop from my tablet devices (I have an iPad and a Nexus 7 – Android), but the ones I have tried are usually clunky, slow, hard to setup or simply do not translate well to the new medium interface.  <\/p>\n

I was introduced to Splashtop 2<\/a> and I was in WOWed\u2026     (Still after a couple of weeks of use   I am still very impressed ! <\/p>\n

Setup is super easy: <\/p>\n

1) Install the desktop agent (they call t Streamer) \u2013 Available for Mac and Windows. <\/p>\n

2) Create an account, if do not already have one.<\/p>\n

3) Install the Splashtop 2 on your table device (iPad or Android) <\/p>\n

4) You login to your account, and your computer(s) show up\u2026 <\/p>\n

5) connect to your computer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Photo<\/a>Super smooth screen display<\/strong>\u2026   I use it from my iPad and my Nexus 7 to connect to a Windows 7 desktop (you can us it on a Mac too) and the differences are minimal between the two versions.  \u2026   <\/p>\n

The most impressive item of all, and what it sold me on it:  It displays the video and audio like you were in front of the computer! <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Couple of items that take a bit getting used to: <\/p>\n

– not everything on the desktop uses the touch interface! <\/p>\n

– scrolling needs two fingers (instead of one) <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Truly impressive implementation, and recommend its use\u2026  <\/p>\n

Definitely worth checking out at:   http:\/\/www.splashtop.com<\/a>  <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Side note:  The product is typically $20 but they are selling it right now for $4.99 right now on iTunes \u2013 which I think is a bargain for what it does!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
