OnLive Desktop Heads to Android: WinInfo Short Takes, March 2, 2012

Excerpt from Paul Thurrott’s weekly news round-up

Last week, I wrote about an exciting new mobile app called OnLive Desktop, which brings a fully functioning Windows desktop (plus Office 2010 and Adobe apps) to the iPad, in my article OnLive Desktop and Desktop Plus: Windows, Office, and Adobe on the iPad. It's a compelling solution for those who need just the occasional access to the Windows desktop. And now it's come to Android as well. You can download OnLive Desktop for Android from the Google Marketplace now—and versions for other smartphone types, PCs, Macs, and even TVs (via a small and inexpensive set-top box) are on the way.
