Is It Possible To Use Desktop Mac Apps On An iPad?

Wouldn't it be cool, if you could somehow use the desktop software running on your Mac on your iPad !!!

Is this possible ?

Solution 1:

Using remote desktop tools, yes.

For example, Remoter VNC, LogMeIn, and Teamviewer come to mind immediately.

Solution 2:

Parallels Access, a new iPad App from Parallels makes it easier to use desktop software on your Apple iPad tablet. With one part remote access and one part native iPad app, you get a desktop experience on a tablet that almost feels like you are using the software just like it was on your Mac.

For more info see the link above and also read this review published in The Mac Observer yesterday.

It is a premium product $80 per year, however a 14 day free trial is available (Windows/OS X/iPad Compatible).
