Splashtop Drops Windows 8 Metro Testbed Onto Android 36
MojoKid writes "Want to try out the Windows 8 Metro interface on your Android tablet? Splashtop apparently has a solution. The company previously released a Windows 8 Metro testbed for the iPad back in April, and now it has one for Android devices, which is available in the Google Play Store. You'll need a PC with the Windows 8 Release Preview installed, but once you have that taken care of, you'll be able to poke around Microsoft's new touch interface on any Android tablet."
Splashtop connects home too often (Score:4, Informative)
This application dials home way too much. If you don't have an outgoing firewall on your devices you will fail to realize that it is phoning the mothership every time you connect to your desktop. Enough of the cloud connection for everything!

Developing touchscreen applications for Windows without purchazing an additional device?
Sounds like a remote desktop solution, optimized for touch. Could be handy for accessing a pc from the couch or meeting room.

So I can explore the Metro interface myself using touch, and make an informed decision regarding the product before even considering a x86 tablet.
It's a shame to see your really dumb comment get moderated 4, Insightful. It's just another sign of intelligence fleeing slashdot.
