Virtual PC With Mobile Open Office Suite
Posted July 28, 2010 at 12:27pm by iClarified
AlwaysOnPC announces version 1.0 of their Virtual PC app for iPad and Android. With more than 40 pre-installed programs including the Open Office suite, FireFox, AlwaysOnPC puts the power of a desktop computer inside any iPhone, iPod touch, and now iPad or Android phone.
AlwaysOnPC delivers a combination of productivity tools and capabilities that frees users from their desktops. The OpenOffice suite lets users edit office documents and is fully open- and save- compatible with most common file types including Word (.doc and .docx), Excel (.xls, .xlsx), and Powerpoint (.ppt and .pptx).
Using FireFox with Flash inside AlwaysOnPC, users can finally browse the whole Web on their device. Although it does not yet support audio or full motion video (these improvements are coming soon) customers still enjoy access to their favorite sites like Facebook games, Google Analytics, and more.
Hosted in the Cloud, AlwaysOnPC offers an encrypted SSH connection from all devices. For users this means both rock-solid security as well as high performance for many common tasks. For example users can open large files, such as a PDF file, PowerPoint deck or Excel Spreadsheet from an email attachment or their Dropbox online storage folder, up to ten times faster than competing mobile solutions. Best of all, all the usage paradigms and personalization that people are familiar with on their computer can now be leveraged on their mobile phone or tablet, for example:
* Copy and paste text & graphics between apps like Office, Firefox, email, & photos
* Add browser toolbars like Google or Yahoo! toolbars
* Click to open email attachments directly into the office or imaging apps
* Multi-task: run Office apps and email, and still see Facebook or IM chats pop up
* Install FireFox Addons (a customer favorite is xMarks, which syncs passwords and bookmarks between the desktop PC and AlwaysOnPC, letting you browse without typing from your phone!)
Other features include:
* Dropbox folder included- just login
* Full-featured PDF reader
* Comprehensive image editing and Vector-graphic drawing programs
* Games like Chess, Blackjack, Solitaire, Hearts, Majongg, Sudoku & more
* 2 GB of online storage support (Other online storage services can be accessed via FireFox)

2) AlwaysOnPC iPhone/iPod touch. Both are offered at a special introductory price of $9.99.
