Missing Adobe Flash on your iPad? The new Desktop Connect app will let users view Flash websites. The downside is that the software requires a not-so-mobile accessory: a desktop Mac or Windows computer.
Antecea’s Desktop Connect supports Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) and the open-source Virtual Network Computing (VNC) protocols for connecting to desktop comuters.
From the release documents:
Desktop Connect enables your iPad to:
• View websites with Adobe Flash.
• Launch and view any application on your desktop.
• Remotely control Media Players and PowerPoint Presentations.
• Access an important business document while you travel.
• Guide your office administrator as you watch the desktop remotely.
• Help your grandmother on her computer as she downloads your childhood photos.
Desktop Connect is built to fully leverage the iPad:
• Captures a Screenshot of your last session for easy future reference to connect.
• Single Click Connect where no setup is required.
• Optimized Performance for fast and responsive control of your computer.
• Browse easily through all computers on your network.
• Bookmark your favorite frequently used computers for convenient access.
• Use your iPad as a touchscreen or as a touchpad.
Desktop Connect discovers computers with Apple Bonjour and Microsoft NETBIOS and provides 128-bit encryption for passwords, the company said.
Some interesting features with Windows connections include a shared clipboard between the desktop computer and the iPad and the chance to save disk space on your iPad by listening to the music library on the desktop machine.
