I'm interested in legitimately purchasing and downloading games on the Windows Phone 7 emulator - I'm a developer and would like to scope out the competition, but I don't have enough money to purchase an actual device. Is this possible, or is it only possible to get the free/default apps with the other Windows applications?
One again I need to stress - I am interested in gaining paid apps *by actually paying for them*. The Zune software requires that you have a registered Windows Phone 7 mobile device before purchasing these games. Is it possible to buy them without buying a device?
Nope. Because the apps/games are downloaded directly to your device.

You're going to have to sideload them using something like this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908293. It's for free apps only though.
Even on an unlocked emulator image, you can't connect to the marketplace. So there's no way to view them, AFAIK.
currently not possible, at least not the 'legitimately' part
but here's an idea: with all the apps you'd be purchasing (and you make it sound a lot) you could buy a WP7 device (subsidized from carrier) and then just trial the apps..it will give you an equally good idea of the competition
Does anybody know of a remote client that actually works?
The only one I have found is impossible to use because the keyboard for entering address/id/pw is not even there to get started!
If I could get something like Pocket Cloud on here ... this thing would pay for itself.
I'm in the same boat as OP, I really need a windows rdp app for my touchpad
Ubuntu
I installed the ubuntu chroot on to the TouchPad. I then used the rdesktop application with tsclient frontend.
It actually works pretty well.
You even get a keyboard. No right click though..
This isn't out yet, but evidently it's getting close:

great news
Can't wait - I am already using their remote desktop HD on android .
apparently out today - I've just bought a copy. Requires the use of a desktop streamer tho, so might not be your cuppa tea. Haven't finished installing yet but the reviews so far are nearly all 5/5 stars
I picked it up this morning. I've only tried it over the Internet so far because my work machine is on a private network while my TouchPad is only allowed on the guest network at work. Performance is still decent, but I've heard that on a LAN it screams (e.g., streaming video/audio works well). I'll set that up with my home machines in a bit.
I've seen a few people complaining about paying $10 for it...good lord...most of us paid $100-150 for the tablet and this effectively turns it into a portable remote terminal for $10! I know mobile computing apps have kind of redefined what we perceive as "value" with $0.99 apps, but if you're looking for a remote desktop-type app and this one isn't worth $10 for you, I'm really not sure what to tell you...
agreed SCWells72 - when I upgraded from PCAnywhere 11 to 12 back in the day so I could get the mobile app for my iPAQ that was about a hundred bucks, so spending $10 (about 7 quid in the UK) is peanuts. You're right - this is the last piece I needed for webOS to tick all my boxes.
Not yet sure if SplashTop supports file transfer, but that would be a massive advantage if it does!
Do anyone find that splashtop streamer too much of a resource hog? Unlike rdp, my computer is really slow.
Anyone know about what happened to 2x client?
Would be great if there was a linux alternative

No file transfer and it does scream locally. I have tried it on my isp's public wifi (my cable company offers g wifi across its footprint to customers) and found it very usable. Though Chrome browser and the two finger scrolling is PITA.
Going away with the wife and have decided that between smartphone and the touchpad, it will be enough tech to carry.

As more and more applications and uses become available for our mobile devices, im curious to know If there is anyone who has fully made the transition from the traditional computing setup entirely to a mobile one?
Personally I feel as if I'm almost there. The last few months I find myself nearly never using my windows PC at all for anything besides the occasional data transfer from drives. But Last week I purchased a micro USB male to USB 2.0 female adapter to use a mouse & flash/hard drives on my galaxy note. This nearly has rendered my PC useless. At this point I can only think of using it for the occasional PC game. Being that my galaxy note has the exact same resolution as my laptop, even watching the occasional movie on it seems useless. One would argue that office emulation solutions on mobile devices aren't quite there yet, but for my use, I'm pretty content with what's available. The only thing that has completely kept me going back to my PC is to access one of my harddrives that is formatted in ntfs, and (for now) modding. Once I find a solution for that drive to be read on my note, then I will probably sell the thing.
So is there anyone else that is either in the process of or already made the transition from their PC to their mobile device?

I will only replace my PC when Windows 8 tablets come out, they're the only handheld devices worth of replacing a PC, i mean Windows Explorer on a tablet? and the metro UI? that's a lethal combination.

Im interested in windows 8 tablets. But even seeing what has been demonstrated, Im not convinced if it will be marginally better than other mobile offerings. I mean yeah those core windows applications are there, driver support, ect. but Idk If that's enough to win me over personally. I have nothing agasint windows but it doesn't seem so compelling to me to get one just for windows explorer. Just really a file manager. Im more compelled towards PC gaming intergration if anything. And slowly it seems those titles are being embraced by other platforms anyway.

I pretty much only use my desktop for gaming. I can even pay my bills with the phone now with a app, so I have really no reason to use my PC for anything else. I always watch movies on my 42" through my PS3 anyway.

Desktop replaced by a mobile phone?
That sound ridiculous. Considering how much I invested into my desktop, I'll be damned if it was to be replaced by a phone.
A Netbook, Yea I can see my phone replacing it. But seeing as how my Netbook battery last longer than my phone, It could become quite handy when I'm traveling.
But, Nope my phone hasn't replaced anything for me.
I definitely have not replaced my desktop. I need my virtual machines and games
What I have replaced for the most part is my laptop which I now use my phone for.
Most people use their computers for simple things, like browsing the web, listening to music, watching videos, storing pictures, etc. For those people, yeah, they could replace their PCs with Android devices.
However, there are those of us who do stuff like programming, hardcore gaming (Let's see even an iPad 3's quad core gpu play Crysis...I'll bet it can't) or otherwise use applications that Android cannot recreate. For those people, I doubt handheld devices will ever a real solution and PCs will still be around for a long, long time.

I know a couple of people who can get away with that. If you're just checking e-mails and facebook, you can accomplish that on the phone.
I don't see replacing my desktop going anywhere for a long time. Even if there was enough power in a portable machine it's still going to be docked so I can wired devices.

I certainly do my fair share of "hardcore" gaming on my PC. That being said though, my PC has essentially become another platform if you will (I.e. ps3, Xbox) to me. And like those platforms, having them arent really a necessity to me. Also, I don't think its fair to say lack of gpu power rules out a devices gaming potential. I still have a gamecube that I use and take to ssbm tournaments. A game is only as hardcore as the user playing it.

I have almost completely replaced my desktop in daily use. And the need for a laptop is not there anymore after getting a galaxy tab 10.1
Combined with my galaxy SII, it takes care of all my needs.
The only thing I'm still running on the 3 desktop computers in my house is a combined fileserver/squeezeserver/downloader machine.
It's placed in the attic, and my Android devices are great for remote control over it.
My basement/home theater machine is used for watching movies/tv shows, and android devices controls all functions of the media center.
The last desktop is only in use for when we listen to music, squeezeplay controlled by androids.
The only thing I'm missing is a way to control my poker league software via Android.
I'm using Dr. Neau's software, and have not found a way to run it on Android.
It display stats on two computers (multi table poker league), and I'd love to find a way to control it via my android's also...
Even my wife and child only uses android at home, my wife loves her SII - and my daughter plays games on the tab and phones.
I've been "androidifyed"

I can see this being the case with many people but not with me. I don't have any gaming platform other than my PC (and my phone but not big into that). This is excluding my collection of nostalgia consoles. All my work is done on my PC (Systems Admin for the most part) and this includes virtual machines. Can't really do without my PC at this stage.

I recently moved house and in between places at the moment so all my tech is packed away in storage. I've been forced to do my day to day work across a combo of Samsung Galaxy SII and my main device Galaxy Tab 10.1
My day 2 day files that I access regular were stored on a Windows Home Server which was connected to a Box Cloud account for stuff I need access to from anywhere, anytime so I am now using the Tab and phone to access this box account that will be re-sync'd once I settle down and re instate my Home Server.
My main Desktop PC is a HP Touch smart running Windows 8 CP so I would still keep that for home media stuff or when absolutely a PC is needed at a moments notice. My only other PC I have is a little book size Asus purely for live HD TV connected to my LED TV and used as a HTPC and DLNA streaming to my android devices but I think once Windows 8 becomes fully rolled out across PC's, tablets and eventually phones.... I will replace the Android devices and I will content that all my devices will be the same baseline OS and all my data completely sync'd across windows live id's.

maybe when we can install linux OS on our tablet then that will be the time i will replace my old pc
On a second note, I thought of something else whilst reading the other posts.... there will always be a need to access windows or Mac full blown applications like Office, outlook etc.... so my plan further down the line was to upgrade the hardware on my Windows Home Server and add a VMWare environment to the mix or a separate box depending on performance and run full blown virtual machines that I can access from anywhere on my android devices using Wyse Pocket cloud app for either remote desktop or VNC access using Google services to access them from anywhere I have a connection which is quite appealing for me....
That means I would pretty much only use my mobile devices full time and have desktop services via virtual machine clients either on android or windows 8 tablets, phones further down the line.

I used to own a laptop in addition to my mobile phone, but ever since I've owned a smartphone, I find myself using my laptop less and less. Except for really complicated tasks, I find my android phone sufficient, and in some cases, better than an actual PC.
So, I have recently came across Splashtop, which claims to allow you to access your desktop PC remotely via an Android device. My questions is, however, how well does it actually work - especially on the Galaxy Note? Could I say, finish some homework on Microsoft Office utilising this or even stream games such as Fallout and Terraria?

Splashtop works pretty great. Basically you are looking at the image of your desktop. You can control the computer remotely. I have used it to check home spycam when I was away. It functions as if you were there sitting in front of the computer. It is difficult to do much on the Note however. You need a larger screen to really get things done. It's good to watch movies playing on the pc. I don't think Fallout or any other game would function all that great though. Worth a try.

I own the Note and splashtop and could honestly say that most everything would be a pain. If you're away from your computer (eg: using 3G) then it's damn near useless. If you're around the house and have wifi, it's pretty fast. If away and you have wifi, it's pretty slow but usable if you're just trying to transfer a few files and whatnot... Doing Office homework might not be too bad, but you could probably do better with QuickOffice HD or OfficeSuite (as long as you could just go home and touch it up later).
As far as the Terraria Statement, I posted this back on the Transformer Prime forum, but this might help you out too:
How to install and play Terraria on Android
I bought it during the promotion last time.
Works pretty well over wifi.
For 3G and above, really depends on your reception. Some places work with negligible performance impact.
Games wise, this may be dependent on your GPU and OS version. You have to see their support psge for more info. There is a version made for games though it is tablet only.

There's always 2X Remote Desktop too. Free, uses RDP and resizes to the res of your device. Its free and stable for me.
I wouldn't try any video over it (RDP is crap for that) but for normal remote control its great. I've set up a VPN to my home and connected over 3G with reasonable performance.
Oh, and my experience of Splashtop has been really hit and miss. Mainly miss, and mainly because it only works sometimes if you have Windows firewall or RDP connections enabled.

Got it from Google Play. It is free - which is smart to given that all our devices are Wifi Direct ready and the miracast is about to take off.
The desktop is mapped to pixel perfection. I am used to small screens. It is the first remote solution where the stylus hover works, that is steers the mouse, unfortunately I cannot drag. The mouse sensitivity in halflife was over the top. Performance unfortunately did suffer from micro-lags / stutter. Smooth mode hardly helped. Bandwidth is between 1Mbps to 4Mbps. Setup is as painless as it gets - see wikipedia for an explanation.
And yes a tegra helps.
If it weren't for the dragging-input issue I would have been very impressed.
U can also try Jump desktop, which is a very similar app. Mouse hover with S-pen works too, and GUI is reasonably fast
Overall, it all depends on your connection speed, and the adaptability of your desktop content to a much smaller screen, regardless of the closeness in resolution. I find it very useful to check and use some non-critical programs on the way to work. Also, it gets my office PC up and running, so that I can start working right away
I use LogMeIn Pro it costs but there are plenty of free torrents out there.

Remote desktop solutions are dime a dozen. There are literally hundreds of them out there now.
Teamviewer stands out for its freeness, ease of use and portability as well as great device support. Unfortunately it does not adapt well to the Wacom Pen's features on the Note (yet). It's performance with low bandwidth is almost unrivalled. A 1h session nets you around 40MB total
Splashtop stands out for promoting itself as the speediest remote solution in the market. It was also very a smart move to hook up with Nvidia. It basically utilizes the high CPU performance on one side and the great encoding capabilities on the mobile devices (which were even ahead of Intel's Atom lineup at that time). Splashtop carves into the miracast, Wireless desktop branch.
Let's see when and how the miracast technology takes off and proves itself hassle-free.
I am foremost interested now in hooking up my Android to my PC Screen at high framerates....
If you have these devices its awesome. I like to download torrents on Android while I await a torrent app for our surface. Then I can connect Surface to S3 using Kies and having Surface tethered to S3 using hotspot allows me to stream or download all my content along with access all my phone info. Love it. So far love my Surface. Ordered it on 23rd here in Michigan and received it this morning. 32GB with black touch cover.

Kies is a x86 app . And not compatible with windows RT . Unless Samsung make the app on windows store and is compatible with RT.
He is not talking about the x86 app that is available for windows, instead using the Kies app on the device which broadcasts an IP address that you can connect to within IE.

You have to either be tethered to your phone using the mobile hotspot or on the same Wi-Fi network. Then open the kies app on phone and hit start. it will then give you an IP address to type in your surface browser and boom!

You've obviously never used Windows RT. While it may not have as many apps as Android, yet, the UI is much faster and smoother. I am not sure about the Surface, but the Asus Vivo Tab RT is awesome & I have some pretty great Android devices and have enjoyed the Android experience very much. That said, my RT tab lasts 3 times longer than any Android device including the Nexus 7, has a great screen & is very responsive. I have not had to reset the device at all, not once, in more than two weeks & it holds it's charge for days on end.
Sure, it is missing some cool apps, but a lot of that is because we have all gotten used to apps from Android & iOS. With the full browser experience & integration of social networking into the native "People" app, many of the Apps you "NEED" for iOS & Android are unnecessary.
I can almost guarantee that when Windows tabs have been out as long as Android has been, it will be much more capable than Android was at the same elapsed time since release. Everyone said Android wouldn't make it, "it didn't have as many apps as iPhone" & look where it is. RT started out of the box way ahead of what Android did in terms of function & stability. Again, I am referencing the Asus Vivo, which has LED flash, NFC & GPS capability. The surface is nice, but after my Nexus 7 experience & with the additional features, I had to stick with Asus.
Without apps, I will say that at this point, Android in general is better for entertainment. But neither Android or iOS comes even close to the RT tabs for those of us that work on the road in conjunction with teams that include sales, support & engineering professionals. Full PowerPoint function that includes viewing notes while in presentation mode is priceless. Add that to the "mirror", "extend" & "individual" monitor choices that mirror a laptop & those are just two small features out of many that make it a clear winner for road warriors.
your sliding scale of timeframe comparisons won't work.
4 years starting at x date vs 4 years LATER starting at y date means anyone with a billion dollar software company can reproduce fedatures. see, apple - notifications, android - full office suites, microsoft rt - uhhhh something in 4 years.
I hear microsoft is announcing plan B already, incase surface tanks: office (for sale) for android and ios. problem is (again) its too little, too late. people already have office suites that work just fine , without subscriptions, without fees, without changes that make yesterdays word document incompatible.
Just wanted to put this out there.
Airdroid =\= Android.
Airdrops is an app that let's you transfer files wirelessly. Not an os.
I tried to do this with my sg3..i just get a blank white page on the surface.
EDIT
Nevermind....I forgot that I had to accept the connection from my phone.
