Wondering what kind of remote desktop everyone is using. Which is relatively lag-free and real-time? Can you watch videos on it? Does it have audio?

I'm using the LogMeIn Beta. I have no clue why this is still beta as it is every good as the iPhone version. Needless to say I will be buying it once it goes live.
As for watching videos, I've never seen any RDP good enough to watch a video off of. Could you? I guess but the better question is, why would you want to?
Yes it has audio.
I'm using remote Remote RDP
audio plays flawlessly over wireless and pretty good over 3g... (but its REALLY low bitrate)
as for videos... i haven't seen any app that can render fast enough
wait i have :| its Window's built in RDP in win7 over a gigabit connection >.<
Xtralogic is what I'm using. It's full featured and works very well. I would reccomend it highly.

It's fast enough to watch videos on? How about audio?
If you're trying to watch videos on your phone, you'd probably be better off with something like Orb that handles video streaming and does on-the-fly transcoding.
Phonemypc is pretty much real-time if you're on a good wireless connection but it doesn't have audio.
+1 for Xtralogic Remote desktop. I use it quite a lot for work, and it works pretty well

There are no remote desktop apps that can do video. You can't even do this in a lan environment, let alone over the net.
Audio works fine with the Xtralogic client.
RDP isn't really built to stream video or provide a fast refresh rate.
If you want to watch movies either sync them with your PC or stream them with a slingbox.
i used logmein...

logmein ignition still works great for me
I have streamed video with Phonemypc and it's flawless. There is no audio and for some unknown reason you can't see the mouse movement to click on files and folders lol. Been using various platforms of vnc for years and all of them are very slow in the bitrate department. Gonna try Xtralogic.

I just wanted to come gush about my new job. I am working at Sling Media, makers of the sling box as a regional sales rep.
WOOO HOOO
Excellent news! Mazel tov!
If Sling wants some even more free promotion or just feeling generous, I'd love to give a Slingbox a go. Santa thought I'd been a bad boy last year, for some reason

Good for you!
Hey, what would be the minimum requirements (data connection speedwise) at home and away from home to make the sling box be efficient?
Luiggi,
I would recommend an upspeed at home of at least 200 and a dl of the same. But the better up you have the better video quality, this is the most limiting factor as your DL speed will usually be quicker. That the beauty of their player as it optimizes based on your speed.
Vijay....
I will see what the url to your website or blog?
PM me
Thanks for the scoop!

Thanks for the response slimsaturn, buying one PRO right now and possible more for business down here.
Slingbox could really advertise differently and reach a much larger market. Aside from using it to watch TIVO, we use it for a security device. I watch it on my AT&T 8525. The picture is awesome, very clear.
The Composite is TIVO and the S-Video is hooked up to a multiplexer with 4 video cameras that are recorded to a hard drive. I can tune in to TIVO or what's going on at home anytime.
Our 2nd Slingbox Pro is hooked up to a TIVO and a VCR that controls 2 indoor cameras. We can check on our little dog or the kids while we're at work.
Anyway, when I'm in a store and I see people in the security aisle, I can't help but show them our set-up on my phone. The reactions that I get are awesome!
Congratulations! LOVE the Sling, TIVO too!
if i wasnt trying to save money for college i would already have a slingbox. the possibilities of that thing amaze me.
i was thinking
and the only thing the iphone has on the G1 is looks
and only in certain places
but why not reduce those places
does anybody think that they can make an iphone-esque media player
not even the full blown media player just for like when you turn the iphone landscape and you have the album pictures and song nd ****
i would love to see this as well... our media player is straight up ugly.... I cant wait till new apps start to come along.. i know its still early.. the phone has only been there for a monbth
I have heard the iphone media player is second to none, any truth to this? Never seen it myself..
why is it everyone wants copies of other OSs? Android is its own seperate OS, why can't it have a media player that reflects itself like other OS's have. Sure you like a feature where in landscape it shows different info. I think that is cool. But I want to wait for google to finish 1.0
make it similar in aesthetic design
i suppose
or make it like the HP touchscreen is that would be pretty rad
Need Equalizer!
Who cares about how it looks? One of the biggest misses is the fact that there is no equalizer. Focus on functionality before form!

focus on the date
I hate the fact that they have hardly updated the media player since 1.0 (gosh do you remember that ****? Didnt even have on screen keyboard xD)
there is one called mixzing in the market, its free. it has an iphone-esque look to it. not exact but kinda close. one thing neat about it is, it acts like pandora (creates playlist based on a song selection) but bases the playlist creation off of the music in your phone collection. it's kinda cool.

Hey everyone,
i'm looking for an app to use the X1 as a webcam. I tried Webcamera Plus and Mobiola Web Camera but non of them worked. Seems like they couldnt find the x1 camera so anyone knows some app that works?
if your lookin to use it as a webcam for your computer check out mobiola...
mobiola webcam works fine with my xperia... and its very easy to use, plus it has the feature to actually broadcast ur mobile screen.. thats so cool
When i installed Mobioa Webcam i could see the Xperia Screen on my computer but it didnt use my camera. Can you explain me what i have to do so it uses the camera?
Im looking for a webcam app to use on my xperia. I used a program, forgot the name, that actually allowed me to use the xperia camera as a webcam while connected to the internet. Came in handy while talking to family while i was in Brazil. The only problem is the program didnt seem to utilize the front faced camera on the X1. Anybody have any apps that have enabled them to make use of the front facing camera? And let me specify, when i say use the xperia as a webcam i mean without connection to a computer.
Check this one out. I think this is what you are looking for.
http://mobile.vzochat.com/en/
ateksoft WebCamera Plus is the best web camera software for winMo but unfortunately doesn't work fully on HTC platforms ... nor on X1
Anyone have information about any other webcam software?
Ok i now managed to get WebCamera Plus work but the quality is really ****ty :/ I think i better buy a normal webcam but thank you anyway.

Damn fast indeed!!!!
Even faster than Chrome
yeah I love it
UNITE is great as well..
Looks good...will have to take it for a spin!
I've been using Opera for about a year now and opera 10 is great, and 10.50 is REALLY fast. The only issues I have is it freezes and crashes sometimes when browsing Java intense sites (such as Facebook), but I'm sure that's just a beta issue that will (hopefully) be fixed in the final release. Also, Opera Turbo is great when i tether my phone to my computer for internet. Opera Link is also a great feature so i can sync all my favorites and speed dial from my desktop to Opera Mini and Mobile on my phone.
Overall, I love opera. I just wish it had a wider java support as some features dont work on some sites (ie, the @ tagging on Facebook statuses doesnt work in opera). I would still suggest opera over all other browsers.
Regards,
sarge21rvb
Yes, unbeleievable. Thanks for the link
Thanks Orb for pointing out have to say impressed not used Opera for along time on desktop due to adverts, have they only just incorporated ad block?
Running fast and smooth will give it a while to know if can switch as straight away i'm missing some plugins i use on regular occasions.

That sounds like JavaScript and not Java.
How does the @ tagging on Facebook work? What isn't working in Opera?
"Google's $35 Chromecast fared well in our review, but something that could make it even more useful is the ability to stream pictures and video from mobile devices. Users have been able to work around that on PCs by entering info for locally stored files into the Chrome address bar, and now ClockworkMod developer Koushik Dutta is showing off a solution for mobile that closes the gap with AirPlay. Demonstrated in the video after the break, his Phone to Chromecast app can fling pictures or videos stored on the phone directly to the dongle -- apparently thanks to web server software he'd already created for Android. There's no specific word on the codecs or resolutions tested, but he reports videos work at full framerate "like magic." The only bad news? The preview SDK terms mean he can't distribute the APK without written permission from Google, so this demo is as close as we're getting for now."

Sorry, YouTube tag wasn't working.
Let's just hope either Google agrees to push it through! Sounds awesome though.

Do you guys think Google will actually approve it though?
Could this be integrated as a general 'share' feature with other apps like gallery, quickpic, etc?

My fear is that if they don't approve it, and it gets released anyway, Google will take steps to block it to appease content providers like HBO, Vudu, or whoever else they're trying to get onboard.
Outstanding........
hope google will approve this
So this would be similar to Samsung's AllCast? I know allcast uses DLNA while this uses a webserver, but functionally it would offer the same ability.
It seems with this method it could be easier to connect with and cast networked shares.
