AlwaysOnPC is a mobile app that gives users access to a complete, personal, virtual PC from their Android device. Key features include: use of Chrome or Firefox browsers with toolbars, themes, add-ons, synchronized bookmarks and tabs, and access the Chrome Web Store; A full mobile Open Office suite for editing Word Excel and Powerpoint documents; Dropbox integration; Full-featured image editing and drawing software; Copy/paste between any app; 2Gb of storage.
Java is at the heart of many interactive websites including games and business/ productivity sites, but still does not function on Android devices. AlwaysOnPC lets users run Chrome with 'in-browser' Java from Android devices so they can access thousands of sites like Runescape, Evony, Facebook games, PartyPoker, QuickBooks Online, Google Sites, and many more. The system does not yet support audio or full-rate video, but these features are expected to be released soon.
By combining Verizon's VCAST subscription features with its scalable platform and apps, Xform Computing delivers on the promise and power of cloud computing through a pay-as-you plan on a mobile device. All connections are encrypted and Xform's virtualization technology ensures no content is ever loaded or cached on the device, making it an attractive solution for businesses to enable employees to safely access corporate apps and data from personal or company-owned devices.
With a free trial available and priced at $2.99/month, AlwaysOnPC performs especially well on Verizon's 4G-LTE network due to it's industry-leading low latency, and runs on most Android phones such as Droid2, DroidX, HTC Thunderbolt, as well as tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab and Motorola Xoom. Another big benefit for customers is that the charges go directly on their Verizon mobile bill.
