Splashtop 2 HD arriva nel Play Store ed è subito gratis (ma per poco tempo)

Splashtop è una famosa app (che abbiamo anche provato) per visualizzare da remoto il Desktop del proprio PC, potendo così accedere a tutto il software in esso contenuto, giochi inlcusi. La versione 2 è appena sbarcata nel Play Store e per festeggiare l'avvento è disponibile per il download gratuitamente, ma solo per un periodo di tempo limitato.

Tra le novità introdotte segnaliamo l'uso del pinch-to-zoom, un'interfaccia rinnovata e ottimizzazioni varie, oltre alla possibilità di utilizzo della rete  3G/4G grazie all'opzione Anywhere Access Pack (che però costa 0,99 dollari al mese o 9,99 all'anno).

Se siete interessati ad un giro gratuito vi merita affrettarvi perché non conosciamo quando terminerà la promozione; sappiamo però che alla fine Splashtop 2 costerà 9,99$, ma non è chiaro se gli acquirenti della prima ora riceveranno anche i futuri aggiornamenti gratuitamente o meno.

August 8, 2012 - San Jose, CA - Splashtop Inc., the worldwide leader in cross-device computing, today announced the release of Splashtop 2 HD for Android tablets - the next generation of its award-winning remote desktop. To achieve a new level of enhanced security, reliability and performance in Splashtop 2, Splashtop has built a global network of relay servers to form a "Bridging Cloud" infrastructure.

To date, Splashtop has empowered more than seven million users of mobile devices, from tablets to smartphones, to remotely access Windows PCs and Macs to run applications, view and edit files, watch HD movies and play graphic-intensive games.

Now by popular demand, Splashtop is delivering Splashtop 2 HD for Android tablets running Android 3.1 and up.

It supports high definition ("HD") video and is designed for devices with a screen density of 1280x800 on sizes of seven or ten inches.

"Security and privacy are no longer merely corporate concerns. Regular people like you and me also need to be reassured that our data is always safe and secure - every file on every device, everywhere and everyday. Splashtop 2 offers that peace of mind," noted Mark Lee, Splashtop CEO and co-founder.

"Beyond security and privacy, Splashtop continues to make ease of use a priority. And, of course, we pride ourselves in staying ahead of the technology curve with our industry-leading performance."

The Splashtop 2 HD app is available in basic form, which allows connectivity between devices in a local area network (LAN) environment; in addition, a module called "Anywhere Access Pack," available by in-app purchase, will allow users to connect to their devices across the Internet.

Splashtop 2 HD has an easy-to-use interface and has been optimized for new hardware features, such as HD resolutions. Splashtop 2 HD supports up to 30 frames per second of streaming and sub-30-millisecond latency, providing for smooth video and responsive gaming experience.

There is no need to configure routers or firewalls, or to manually enter IP addresses or security codes. With the addition of Anywhere Access Pack, the same simple process lets users connect to their devices reliably from anywhere in the world, over the Internet.

In addition, the app has self-optimizing technology that adapts to the conditions of the network, enabling the user to take full advantage of the bandwidth of a 3G/4G network or Internet connection. In addition to protecting user data through its proprietary Bridging Cloud, Splashtop deploys industry-standard encryption technology to maintain a high level of security.
