Splashtop Remote Desktop

Splashtop Inc is a privately held software company based in San Jose, CA

What Splashtop Inc. say about their products:
A computer with the Splashtop Streamer can receive connections from any device running Splashtop Remote Desktop , FileHound , Splashtop Remote Browser , Splashtop Whiteboard , Splashtop CamCam , Splashtop XDisplay , Splashtop Touchpad or Splashtop Presenter applications.

This is an Asus thing (in that some Asus computers come with this installed or it is promoted when you purchase and use an Asus tablet). Remote connections can be made using other vendors hardware and software. However, it does make a compelling case for Asus tablets and other computers, not just Asus, running the Splashtop software.


I have run the Microsoft Office suite on an Asus Prime and it was fully functional. You can even use Splashtop remote to control an Adobe or Powerpoint presentation.

The Asus Prime comes with the Splashtop Remote Desktop pre-installed. This prompted me to download (and purchase)  the Desktop app for my Blackberry Playbook.
