My real estate business software that I have use was specifically designed to ONLY work on I.E. How, how can I get it to work on my Galaxy Tab 10.1. ? I am very concerned it wont work. Thanks
Lol.. you should just slap the developer of that software for using Internet Explorer.
It's very hard to tell you how to fix something until you've tried it and know for sure it doesn't work, and why. If it's a matter of crappy code that browsers besides IE barf on, then you may be able to work around it somehow. If it's using ActiveX or some IE-only feature, you're out of luck.
The best workaround to use a windows only application is to run it on your desktop at your work or home and then connect to it using a service like VNC.
A very good and easy to set up solution is to use Splashtop Remote HD (9.99 in the Market) and run the streamer on your host PC. http://www.splashtop.com/remote
This will allow you to use any windows application on your tablet.

why not just spoof the browser user agent to that of IE. see if that works?

Not that it's necessarily the case here, but UA spoofing is probably not going to be the issue.
Most websites that are "For IE ONLY" either are written to conform to the arcane and stupid rendering of Internet explorer (pre version 8), or use ActiveX, neither of which can be spoofed with a UA string change.

ahh that explains it !! I'd punch the dev for making something IE specific only !!
well get a Win7 tablet...
for work and keep the 10.1 for home/travel
It's time to upgrade your archaic broken software. IE6 went EOL more than a year ago. Good riddens.
Now that I am here with all my knowledge I will provide the correct answer.
Splashtop Remote Browser
This app will allow you to use any browser remotely as if it were a real app installed on your tablet. Its 100 times better than trying to remote in with ultra slow laggy vnc or other crude remote desktop apps and running a browser that way.

I may be in the minority here. But on my laptop I use Xfinity, quite often. When I pull up http://xfinitytv.comcast.net/ on my tab and then attempt to watch an HD video it tells me I need Microsoft Silverlight.
I have tried all browsers available to no avail. Any information would be helpful.
There's no silverlight for android.
The Mono team (the guys who make silverlight work on linux) supposedly had a Honeycomb beta of Moonlight running back in April, but I haven't heard a word since then.
The big problem has and will always be that Microsoft refuses to give any pointers about how it works, so it's all reverse engineering and hacky at that.

Theres an Xfinity app in the market. I use it to check the local listings and change my channels with my tab.

Best bet would be to bombard Comcast with requests for HC app. The ipad one works fine.
I need to remote into my work but there is no RDP APP. The VPN works but what good does that do me if I can't connect into my work PC, or our servers. Anyone know if RDP is being developed for Webos?

From what I can find Splashtop should be releasing a application for WebOS, but it doesn't look like they have. Other then Splashtop, it doesn't look like their is a good way unless you want to VNC into a machine and launch RDP through that machine's session.
I'd hope somebody (devs) sees an opportunity here...

I agree. It's funny that now that I finally have a device with native Cisco AnyConnect support, it doesn't have any RDP application!
Hopefully something will be created soon.
I'm waiting for this as well.

Same here. I'd easily pay 15-20 bucks for an app like Android's Xtralogic RDP client.
I would pay as well.

Should we turn this into a bounty thread? If this had RDP, I'd never go back to my desk again. As is, the Touchpad has already made me 200% more mobile at work.
Seriously, I would pay real money for a VNC (1st choice) or RDP (2nd) client that works. There is a VNC client free on the HP appstore but it doesn't support (or work at all on) the Touchpad. I have emailed the dev but his site is all German and I don't know if he will understand.
This is the main reason I am needing android so badly... At this point no client for RDP exists, as far as I can tell. We desperately need WYSE pocketcloud, which also does VNC, and I doubt they port that app to webOS
iTap works really well for Android and iPad, I wonder if they would develop an app for Webos?
I'm tempted to write one myself lol!
I was able to do it by installing ubuntu on the device and then just installing rdesktop in ubuntu. It should use the existing VPN connection that you have and you should be able to connect. I was able to use the same setup to create a SSH RDP tunnel to my home computer.
There's a bunch of tutorials on how to install ubuntu on the Touchpad.
Gnome-RDP is very nice on Debian Squeeze64. I download Cisco Anyconnect client from Stheir site via CCO login. Very nice.
Now I'm looking for just an RDP client for my HP Touchpad so I can access my work PC. IPSEC using native VPNC (not VNC) works pretty good. It is very nice. Very fast connection viewing our protected web server.
In the meantime I'll look for a way to run a terminal (or xterm), then use telnet or openSSH from the Touchpad.
I got an answer from the guy who wrote the only VNC client for WebOS I know of (current version doesn't work on tablet). He is a very nice German fellow named Bernard Slawik. Here is his answer when I asked if he could update for Touchpad.
Hi,
I don't have a TouchPad, so I can't really develop for it
If it get's available again (I heard something yesterday), I hope it will become available in Europe as well!
Greetings from Munich,
Bernhard
Anybody in Germany/Eastern EU have a Touchpad we can hook Bernhard up with?
for those looking for a remote deskop app, there you go: http://signup.splashtop.com/
Splashtop app coming
I got an e-mail from WYSE today, makers of pocket cloud. No good news though:
Hi David,
With the latest HP announcements we currently have no plans to create a WebOS version.
Sorry for the bad news

The Free app of the Day on Amazon is "Splashtop Remote Desktop"
The app is supposed to let you link to a computer and access an files or programs on that machine.
The app seems like it might be useful but I would like to get your feedback on it.
(I am not associated at all with this app or its developer, I just thought it was neat and would like to get more opinions on it)
Thanks!

It requires that you install a client on your machine to use. I would recommend using the built-in RDP for Windows. There are many free RDP clients out for android that work, such as 2X, and do the same thing without installing extra.
If you are using a mac check out the computer specs because it only works on lion. I use jump and love it

While reading the reviews listed for the Amazon Appstore for Splashtop, something that struck me as concerning was the lack of encryption. The reviewer did a great deal of research and said that Splashtop should have it available, though not when that date will come.
Personally, I use the free version of Pocket Cloud from Wyse for my remote desktop needs. It works well and uses your Google account information for logging in.
I've used Pocket Cloud and Splashtop on OS X Snow Leopard, so the poster saying it only works on Lion is wrong. Splashtop's encryption is loose to speed the program up. Splashtop is great for accessing your computer from your own LAN but insecure if you are on another network. Splashtop is cool, might as well give it a try, but I prefer Pocket Cloud overall.
my bad

Like the title says Does android in desktop mode on Dolphin, Or any other browser show up on the logging tools of websites as a desktop? I think that is the reason that you often see that ios has more People surfing the web than Android. Do any of the bigbrains in hear Know the answer? Thanks

I think what he's getting at is does it show up in the website stats of who has visited that you are using a desktop (pc) or an Android phone. If it doesn't show Android phone he thinks that's what's accounting for people saying that more people surf the web with iphones than with Android phones.
So he's not asking about using desktop mode on the phone, just how it looks to the website logs/stats when you use desktop mode on your phone to access them.

Are websites able to tell the difference between a desktop and an Android device running as a desktop client? If they aren't able to, then their numbers are wrong and Android is the clear winner.
Been watching this thread like a hawk. Some chick is trolling on a news sight, and arguing that it isn't possible. I say it isn't possible on an iPhone.

And with that said, we will never know the true stats.
Thanks for letting me know it is possible on iOS. I am not starting a pissing match. I am just trying to show that a lot of people use 3rd party browsers on Android,and they have the ability out of the box. By the way, I really like the iPad mini. Damn nice little tablet. Not enough to buy it, but find it to a very nice experience.

i had a mytouch 4g and tried going to Hulu on regular browser settings but none of the videos would play because Mobile was not supported. when i did some research i found out you can install a modded Flashplayer app and then Customize the browser settings by typing in the URL about:config and then the menu key and setting the USER AGENT to Desktop. after doing all that, i finally went to Hulu's website and was now able to view every video they had. So if Hulu still read my phone as a phone, i wouldnt of been able to view their videos. but i was. so maybe it is possible that sites dont recognize if youre on your phone.
That is what I thought. Hbogo, and Maxgo also allow watching videos from desktop mode in the browser with that mod. I just wanted someone with coding experience that could explain it better. Googling it doesn't seem to get anywhere.

I've tried it. It's not great, and it makes your background black, which is annoying. Beyond that though, it's functional enough, but about as good as any other remote connection app you could find on Google play, and no less laggy when you're moving windows around or something. I probably won't use it; I just wanted to see what it could do. The only feature it has (or I presume it has) which is more convenient sometimes is IP tunneling so you don't have to port forward your VNC, but it may not even have that, I just got the impression that it did. I haven't used splashtop to compare them directly.
