Kindly suggest one plz.
Thanks in advance.

If you have Windows Vista on the computer, you can control powerpoint via BT using SideShow (http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=fe99f5dc-e62d-46e0-a294-1ec3aa4960c4&bt=8&pl=7).
I am using a XP Pro so Office PowerPoint Remote cannot be installed. Any similar appli for XP?
I tried to setup the Presentation Companion which is a part of Windows Mobile PowerPoint 2010.
1. Loaded Presentation Companion on my HTC Touch Pro 2 (Tilt 2) running the Windows 6.5.3 EnergyRom (Leo)
2. Connected my HTC Touch Pro 2 via Bluetooth to my latop (running Windows 7)
3. Copied the powerpoint to my storage card
4. Opened the PowerPoint on my TouchPro 2
5. Downloaded and install the Presentation Compnanion Addin
6. Launched PowerPoint on laptop and opened the same powerpoint file
7. Went to addins on the laptop started the Presentation Companion
8. Back on the Touch Pro 2 within Mobile PowerPoint I clicked Menu and "Presentation Companion"
It states that "Can't Connect. There's no Bluetooth Adatper..."
Anyone run into this problem? Anyone get this to work?
I am trying to run it on HD2. Same issue. It says "Cannot find the adapter" while HD2 and PC are connected via bluetooth.
There are 2 "Gotchas" to be aware of.
1. The Presentation Companion beta software does not work on 64bit versions of PowerPoint.
2. The mobile side of the Presentation Companion does not work with non-standard Bluetooth software implementations on Windows Phones such as the HTC Touch Pro2 or HD2.
Exist software for desktop (if possible for linux, use debian) that once connect the android to the PC by USB you can emulate the entire operating system live? And then use the phone from the PC without taking it in their hands??
For my old omnia, i used this for windows mobile:

also Cyanogenmod 6 includes bluetooth HID support, so you can use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the phone.
I don't see many posts about remote desktop but I've found that using my Surface RT + remote desktop to connect to my Windows 8 Pro computer at home is an amazing way to work. The touchscreen even works to navigate the remote computer.
And, since the micro hdmi on the surface supports 1080p, I can connect to a full size screen.
Does this actually work fine then? It's what I plan on doing tbh, I have a media centre PC under my TV that I want to install Windows 8 Pro on and use Remote Desktop.

it works very well. I do prefer the classic RDP client over the new RT one though because of easier touch gestures.

The screen on the htpc will lock when you rdp in. If you want to see the screen on the tv and your surface you'll have to use remote assistance.

Doesn't bother me too much... although it'd be good to have both, I just want tot have the option there to run Intel apps *if* I ever had the need.
It's actually awesome! I use Vuze a lot for movies and such. I have them saved on my computer, and use the network link to move them to my Surface. I was thinking I would need to do it thru the SD Card, but this is much easier

Is it possible to use the older RDP client and enable monitor spanning to remote connect using the tablets screen as well as a 1080p monitor?
For the sake of argument, could you use the remote desktop to use image editing software such as Photoshop through the Surface? Obviously, the screen is probably way too small in terms of both physical size and resolution to really be of much use but for less complex editing it would be awesome...
Absolutely. Bear in mind that the Surface RT doesn't have a stylus digitizer, so you'd be stuck with capacitive touch or mouse+keyboard for input (although now that I think about it, you can probably use a Wacom USB tablet with the Surface's USB port...) but in general, yes you could do this. I already have Remote Desktop pinned to my Surface's taskbar (along with Powershell, which also allows a different kind of remote access).

That is good to hear! My dilemma has been that I want a portable device so that I'm not glued to my desk for the majority of the day but the major obstacle has been finding a tablet that can actually do what my computer does. Remote Desktop sounds like an answer.
What would the frame rate be stable enough to remote my computer and remote desktop from work with no lag?
For example, internet browsing on chrome or watching a youtube video through remote desktop.

Or you can download google chrome and the app for remote desktop for chrome....Works pretty good for me.....should work fine for surface....or RT...
You should search the forum - there is a thread on Remote Desktop, and it explains how to use Remote Apps, which imho, is the best way to utilize x86 apps on your surface RT...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1977545&highlight=remote+apps
I get little to no lag running Photoshop, AutoCAD, etc. For the few times that I actually need to run an x86, this is the way to go. Do not expect to stream movies, or music from your desktop - although, I guess it depends on your connection - I have my home laptop connected to Linksys G router (im sure if I upgraded to N, it might be faster).
I found an interesting company (Mikogo) who have launched a cloud based Windows 8 desktop (which is actually Windows Server 2012). This doesn't have a windows 8 app but runs through HTML. In theory this would be great as it says you can install your own apps so is less restrictive than Cloudon and Onlive Desktop if you've used those on other platforms.
I requested an account and could then access a desktop via HTML5 using IE on my Windows 8 PC. However it doesn't work on my Surface RT browser (Metro or desktop) as the mouse cursor is not captured for some reason (I've tried via the touchpad and a mouse via USB). Note that even on a PC the performance is slow, although this is a beta.
If anyone wants to try this out I'm curious why it doesn't work in the RT IE10 browser but it does on the desktop. I did feed this back to Mikogo but they don't have an RT device to use (they suggested I try another browser on RT )
VNC has already been ported. Does the job, can be controlled by either device PC or RT.
I want to use an Android Mini PC like a remote workstation. Having the ability to remote desktop it with both a smartphone or Windows PC. Would this be possible? Would another device work as well for a similar price point? What apps would be required?
Thank you in advance.
