OnLive Desktop
Cost: Free
Do you ever find yourself wanting to use your iPad, but needing to demonstrate a Microsoft Office app in Windows? Do you have students that have access to an iPad at school, but at home they are using a Windows platform and they want to create their work with Microsoft Office apps.
If you ever need your iPad tablet to emulate a Windows desktop, one solution that has worked well is OnLive Desktop. OnLive Desktop provides users with a remote version of Windows 7 for use on an iPad, offering up FREE access to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It also provides 2 GB of cloud storage so you can share files between devices by saving files to My Documents. The files will reside on the OnLive Desktop cloud server for easy access.
To get started with OnLive Desktop, just download the app from the App Store, register for an account and you are ready to go. From your tablet you will have access to all of the Microsoft Office apps, Windows Media Player, Adobe Reader, Paint, Calculator, Notepad, Wordpad and Microsoft's Collage Creator. If you are also looking for a Flash Browser, for $4.99 a month you can upgrade the service.
The following video produced by OnLive will give you a look at the features of OnLive Desktop.

Now...Wouldn't it be great if OnLive would take this to the next level and also offer a Windows 8 version?
