Wyse on Thursday said it has improved its PocketCloud software for smartphones and tablets.

The company said that PocketCloud 1.1 adds better Microsoft security and optimization for the Samsung Galaxy Tab and Cisco Cius.

Software vendors such as Wyse, Citrix and VMware have been racing to better support tablets. Citrix offers virtual desktop applications via the iPad and its Receiver software is popular.

Wyse's PocketCloud is designed to allow desktop access from Android and Apple iOS devices.

Thus far, PocketCloud has been downloaded by more than 250,000 users. Key features in the latest version include a custom keyboard, remote app scrolling, secure tunneling and multi-touch gestures.

    This type of software fills a gap on ipad and android. However this is still a client side software. To power the host pc side, you need a software such as ThinServer

    I think that the iPad's future will be especially secure with the use of the device as a business tool, such as with the 2X Client for iOS (http://www.2x.com/virtualdesktop/ios)...it's a free download and lets you use Windows apps from your iPad, giving you application publishing and RDP Remote Desktop capabilities for free, in contrast to the Citrix Receiver and Wyse PocketCloud. Definitely worth a look.
