Splashtop app for Ipad.
Look it up. This nifty little app lets you connect remotely to your desktop (as long as the ipad is connected to a wireless network..anywhere in the world) and use your desktop... all it does is transmit your commands to the computer and it STREAMS the video from your vid card back to your ipad.
So yes, you can do anything you can do with your desktop from your Ipad remotely. It allows you to control as many computers as you want. The computer needs to have a remote software installed and running of course.
I love this app since I can go to college now and have full access to everything on my pc. Word, Works, internet, video editing...games,etc.
Be aware that since it is streaming control you cant really play games that need keyboard and mouse due to the ipad's touchscreen system (mouse works ok via touchscreen tap-control but keyb+mouse control is impossible). You will need to have a keyb+ipad for the ipad to do so.
So far I've been able to play most strategy games that are 100% mouse drives with no problem.
