Hi. Is there any way to remote control the tab? Like something that does what it does when I touch the screen but remotely? I know there are touchpads and various bluetooth mice. But they rely on a mouse pointer system (no multitouch). What I want is remote control but using the same fashion of touch system (swiping and pinching to zoom etc). I want to do this without having to look at the remote controlling device (so I can still see a pointer to know where I need to move to).
I seem to remember someone mentioning this could be done with another Android device like a phone?
hi,
is anyone using their new win 8 tablet with RDP, what's it like connecting to your server, home pc etc?
I'm trying to figure out, do I want to buy an transformer infinity or a windows 8 tablet, probably within then next month or so.
thoughts?
Remote desktop works just fine. From the Surface, I can use the Touch Cover keyboard and trackpad perfectly (as though on a laptop) via Remote Desktop. Touch also works, including the handful of touch gestures supported in Win7, via the Surface's touchscreen. This is using the desktop Remote Desktop program (mstsc.exe), not the TIFKAM (The Interface Formerly Known As Metro) Remote Desktop app. I haven't tried connecting to a server, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work.
One thing to bear in mind, though: the Surface RT has a resolution of 1366x768, which is lower than many desktops and high-end laptops, so it's not great for remoting into a highly multi-tasking-oriented workflow. It's great for smaller jobs, though. Transferring files also works great.
RDP functions pretty much the same as it does on a desktop.
yeah cheers for that. listening it, I may wait out for all pro models :>
I found that for my use - I am an Architect (I use complex x64 programs like AutoCAD, Rhinoceros, Sketchup, Adobe CS, etc), which will have no chance of running on an Atom processor. They would run on i5, but the Surface pro will only get half battery life, and will be thicker/heavier. My options were to spend like $1500 and get a bigger hybrid laptop, or the Surface RT, and use remote desktop to my home computer. I wound up getting Surface RT, and am extremely happy with it thus far (the only thing that is lacking are games. I remote into my desktop computer at home at any time, run remote apps like they were directly installed on my tablet is pretty amazing. There is a slight lag, but not as horrible as using a 3rd party remote desktop app like Teamviewer, or Logmein (which is what i used to use on my ipad - which i have now given to my 3 year old son btw). Granted, you have to have an internet connection to do anything, but I have a 4g smartphone with tethering capabilities, so it will very rarely be an issue for me.
In the end it really depends on what you plan to do with your tablet. The way that I see it, the Android and Ipad tablets only have one advantage over Windows RT - Games, and the number of Apps (but really, what apps do you use on a regular basis, The only ones im missing are Dropbox, Photoshop Touch, and AutoCAD WS). If your like me, and you dont play games that often, and you want to do actual work and produce with a tablet, there is no question which tablet to get - the Surface. The compatibility with printers, mice, keyboards, usb port, expandable storage, full web browser (not bs mobile safari, or chrome), and native remote desktop, and home networking capabilities put it over the top by a lot. And if you are a gamer....I would be patient, MS will further integrate xbox games into this thing, xbox 360 controllers are compatible, and it would make sense to get an xbox emulator working on it directly from MS, with an infinite amount of classic games. Either way, Gameloft, and EA have both announced they would release windows RT versions of their popular games.
Ive tried remote desktop and it works fine.
Is there an app which would change my NST into graphic tablet (mouse input for PC) using USB or Wifi?
I found some in google play (Slide Graphic Tablet, GfxTablet) but each one required at least android 4.0.
so, is there a way to do this on nook's rooted android 2.1 ?
thanks for the replies
When I have my Nook in USB host mode I can plug in my wireless mouse dongle.
(Of course this looks to the USB just like a wired mouse.)
The movements with the driver that's in my kernel just get translated to DPAD_RIGHT, etc chars.
I didn't try them, but maybe one of these will do the job:

If you try them, please tell me how well they work on the nook.
I use "Valence" in conjuction with VNC server which will control a PC using the nook as mouse and keyboard.
Hi, I want to be able to use my SNOTE application on my PC to share drawings over webex while I do them.
I thought I had found it with Sidesynch but doesn't seem to do the trick. I can control my mobile with my PC but I can't control my phone with the phone SNote using my Stylus which is what I want, I want share my computer screen using webbex showing my phone screen while I draw stuff on my Snote Application
I hope some very intelligent person can suggest a way of doing this!
Cheers
Anyone had success using the drawing portion of the tablet on another pc?
I have the windows version of the yoga book if that helps
