This has gotta be uncomfortable for the iPad. Now, Windows 8
tablet developers -- or anyone, for that matter -- can test their apps
and play with the Microsoft's Metro interface from within the confines
of Apple's ubiquitous tablet. The functionality is made possible by Splashtop,
which is known for its remote desktop apps that are currently available
for Android and iOS. It seems that a good amount of effort went into
this application, known as the Win8 Metro Testbed, which offers the same
swipe capabilities that will be available on a native system. This
includes the ability to swipe from the left to switch apps, swipe from
the right to reveal the Charms menu, and pull down from the top to close
an application. Splashtop's Win8 Metro Testbed is currently available
for a promotional $24.99 in the iTunes App Store, whereafter it will
sell for $49.99. You'll find the full PR and a quick video tour of the
app's functionality after the break.
