Remote desktop app Splashtop 2 HD is free on Google Play, only for a limited time

strippedsharpstrippedsharp

The new Splashtop 2 HD for Android tablets comes with an intuitive user interface, and features like pinch and zoom and Wake-on-Lan (WoL). Splashtop has also been optimized for tablets with HD resolution. Connecting the tablet to PC should be a simple affair, as it only requires setting up a user name and password, and off you go. This saves the hassle of configuring routers or firewalls and other complicated procedures.

If you don’t mind paying for the premium Anywhere Access Pack, you’ll get to use Splashtop 2 HD over 3G/4G connections. Also, you will benefit from added security while browsing the content on your PC, thanks to the software’s advanced encryption algorithms. The basic version of Splashstop 2 HD for tablets, which only allows remote connection via LAN, is free.

The app is compatible with tablets running Android 3.1+. If you believe you’ll find it useful, hit the link to download Splashtop 2 HD. We heard it’s free for a limited time only and that the developer will start charging $9.99 for the app, so better make that move quick.

    Does this need to go out onto the Internet in anyway? What I mean is if my desktop/laptop and tablet are all connected on the same LAN, does the data in anyway go out onto the Internet first before coming back in? Or is it all internal?

    Set up applications to do something while you're away? Order it to download something so it's ready for you when you get back?

    I personally use remote desktop to do admin work on my server and splashtop is not amazing. lags like crazy for some reason while pocketcloud works flawlessly with my system. also dyndns is now a paying service but it doesn't matter as splashtop is paying too if you want to use it outside your own network.

    basically my advice is: if you want to do it within your network use pocketclout.

    I'm looking at pocketcloud as I want to use it within my own network, but I don't like how it wants me to sign in using my Google account. Is there no way to just point it to an IP address?

    yup, go on computers (top left) instead and it lets you connect straight to IP. I found it to be even faster than remote desktop from my laptop or desktop into my server!

    I use teamviewer (free for personal use now and again and it works great, for when I want to start something downlaoding or set some pictures to upload.
    I think you can use it to download files from your computer too but not tried this feature
