Splashtop is on Fire! (On Amazon’s Kindle Fire, That Is)
With Splashtop Remote Desktop, Kindle Fire users can access files, applications and content from PCs and Macs with blazing speed
November 29, 2011 — San Jose, CA — Splashtop Inc., the worldwide leader in cross-device computing, today announced that Splashtop Remote Desktop is available for the Kindle Fire. Splashtop Remote Desktop enhances the capabilities of the Kindle Fire to make it more than an eReader or way to consume content. With Splashtop Remote Desktop, Kindle Fire users can remotely access PCs and Macs with full audio and video from a private network or over the Internet.
Splashtop Remote Desktop eliminates the need to transfer, convert or sync files and multimedia from a PC or Mac with a Kindle Fire. Important work files and office applications, such as Outlook, PowerPoint, Keynote, Excel and Word, are easily accessed with this app. Content for personal entertainment, including movies, music, photos and even 3D games, can also be viewed remotely.
“Now you can not only curl up with your Kindle Fire to read a good book, but can run whatever software you have on your Mac or PC,” said Mark Lee, CEO and co-founder of Splashtop. “Adding Splashtop to the Kindle Fire simply makes this hot product hotter.”
Splashtop Remote Desktop enhances the Kindle Fire by enabling users to view and edit:
PowerPoint and Keynote with full animations and sound
Microsoft Outlook with folders and archives
Excel and Word applications
A computer’s browser including personal bookmarks, favorite plug-ins, and extensions
Quicken, iPhoto and other computer programs not available on the Amazon App Store
