Bridge to Anywhere

Splashtop

Control of your PC is behind what Splashtop does, the goal of the company is to build a “bridge to anywhere.” In other words, you should be able to access your files and applications on your PC, even if the PC is not directly in front of you. This program is revolutionary because as long as your PC is up and running, you have access to it wherever you have a wireless connection.

About Splastop

Splashtop-Android Market

Founded in 2006, (originally known as DeviceVM), Splashtop’s goal is to optimize the computing experience so that people everywhere can quickly access content and applications. Already a success on the Apple App Store, Splashtop Remote is one of the top sellers there. The Splashtop OS product, first introduced in 2007, is an instant-on platform that allows users to get online, and access e-mail, or chat with friends, just seconds after turning on the PC. The Android remote desktop app is a latecomer to the market, but like its cousin on the iPhone, it offers the same features that make it a success in that mobile device.
