Remote desktop apps
have an easier time working on tablets, where you have a lot of display
area to work with, but they're frequently awkward on smartphones.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could control a PC at home like it was just
another phone app?
Parallels is tackling that challenge head-on with
smartphone-friendly versions of its Access app
for both Android and the iPhone. Much like the earlier iPad release,
the new titles give you a remote view of your Mac or Windows PC that's
optimized for your mobile platform of choice.
You can launch programs,
select text and type almost as if the computer's software were built for
a small screen. On the Android client (which also handles tablets),
Parallels will even let you create shortcuts to jump directly into
favorite desktop apps.
