5.6.2010 Practice Suite operational over LAN and 3G on the Apple iPad
The iPad is something we've been waiting for a long time, and Apple has not disappointed. Today we got our hands on one and tested various configurations over a LAN (Local area network) and WAN (3G - cellular connection). Testing showed the iPad and Practice Suite combination to be easy to setup and demonstrated great performance. VNC is free, you'll need VNC server running on one of your office computers, and VNC lite for the iPad (also free). There's no need to make any changes to your network. Logmein Ignition on the iPad ($30) and Logmein Free installed on a computer provided a great user experience. We logged into a computer half way across the country and performance was incredible. Download the movies we made of the experience here.
