Hello all!
I've been playing around with the idea of using my Transformer as a mobile workstation for my job as a HelpDesk tech. However, our web-based ticketing system is heavily Java-based, and I've found that some features do not render correctly in the 3.0 sock browser or in Firefox mobile. We are thinking of moving towards tablets for our techs in the field, but this might be a dealbreaker in that department. Any suggestions?
Out of curiosity, are you using Liveperson?
I was able to get it to work via Citrix on my Droid X at one point, so I see it being possible on the tranny as well.
We're using EverythingHelpdesk, actually. What was your setup that allowed you to work through Citrix on your Droid?

I was trying to find the same thing as my company uses Hoblink jwt to VPN in via java. Unfortunately, I never got it to work.

I recently picked up a TF and really like it so far. I have been using connectbot on my phone for making ssh connections, but this app doesn't format itself well for tablets.
Anyone have a favorite ssh client that works well on tablet sized screens?

I like ConnectBot on the TF - only gripe I have with it is it handling of the shift-key, mainly because of the keyboard dock being able to sort out shift-key without having a "sticky shift" key functionality offered to phones.
Anyone else using a different ssh client?
I'd probably be happy with connectbot if it supported landscape.

I use better terminal pro. It seems to work well with the tablet form factor as well as with the keyboard dock.

It does support landscape, check rotation mode under settings

+1 for connectbot with hackers keyboard works phenomenal
I've looked about, I guess all the techies use PCs and such. Just feeling out if anyone knows a legitimately free remote desktop

I'm fairly certain the remote desktop protocol in newer MacOS revisions is based on VNC.

it is. that being said, i tried to set up android vnc viewer to work with my infuse/macbook pro running lion, and it made my computer go nuts.
even when i wasn't using the app, it ate up all of my system resources. it made my computer pretty much unresponsive, and it made my computer heat up to 200+ degrees F. this persisted through several reboots. i still cannot pinpont how i fixed it, but eventually i was able to get the computer back to normal.
haven't been brave enough to try again.
Yikes! Mac is not fun for interfacing with my infuse. I guess Ill just keep em apart. Thanks for the feed back¡

Anybody know of any good android apps that work in a similar fashion to blackberry bridge? I have a Nexus S and a SGT 7.0 that I wouldn't mind "bridging" together the way you can with a blackberry phone and a playbook.

Would love one too, though I don't think that anybody beside RIM will be able to create an app like for android.
I thought i saw a app on the market. Android or tablet remote?

Webkey is a sort of work around to achieve this. Textab is limited to txt messages but its handy at times too.. any vnc app run on your phone can be logged into from your tablet provided its setup correctly.. its cool too. Nothing as slick as the bridge they have though...

Now that i have the dock i am wanting to try franks tool and dual boot. I have searched for videos of it running but all i have found are people installing ubuntu and not really using it. So my question is how responsive/sluggish is it? And has anyone tried coding in elcipse with it on the TF because that is what I would want to do with it.
thanks for your time.

Ubuntu
Ubuntu is very sluggish in unity(at least for me), but with lxde(i like lxde because its highly customizeable and i am used to use windows) its really fast in gimp, abiword, supertux(XD), libre office, file manager and browser. Watchig flash vdeos works, but its sometimes VEEEERY laggy, and sometimes its ok (maybe because i chosed the method with lopmounted .img on /sdcard, but i dont really know if its faster with the nvflash method.)
All in all, i really like it and normally it is fast with programs, i didnt test eclipse so i dont know how it runs.
Sry for my bad english XDD

I tried :laugh:
JDK from Sun can't even run cuz it's meant for x86. OpenJDK installed and ran fine. Launched Eclipse on it, click and wait 1s for response. Tomcat ran and served default page without problems, though I didn't test more. Figured I won't be able to code productively with that kind of lag. :silly:
Was running default lilstevie kernel, couldn't get Jhinta kernel to work :crying:
thinks for the input, I knew it wouldnt be fast but I thought if I could make small changes to the code and then email out the apk to my customers it might work in a pinch. that way I wouldn't have to lug around my laptop with me everywhere.

have you tried AIDE? it's extremely useable for development with the keyboard doc. It's can be slow to build large apks, but otherwise it performs VERY well.

DUDE thanks thats just what i wanted. I had been told it couldnt be done on android because it didnt have all the libs and stuff but that is great. Now I just have to get my Github set up.

As an alternative, you could set up a VPN with a computer you have at home and RDP/VNC into it for access to you development environment. For testing you can use ADB over wifi, routed through the VPN.

No problem. I was amazed when this tool came out for free.

Hi,
This topic is to share experiences using VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) with an Android Tablet.
I'm currently thinking about using it at home to replace my corp laptop.
But the problem is that I use several apps that are not available on Android.
So I'm looking for a solution that would give me access to a Windows machine and would also be user friendly.
Tried with RDP connection but in my opinion touch gestures are not very well handled by the remote machine (maybe by using a windows 8 machine?)
Had a look on VMHorizon as I also own an ESXi server, but rather expensive and the architecture to install seems to be quite complex.
What is your experience with this kind of solution? What would you recommend?
Thanks for sharing
