I've used Jump for the past year; it's an excellent remote desktop client.

Does the Android version offer the same functionality?

  If it does I'll be sure to buy it for my Nexus 7. Very nice way to get an idea of how well Windows 8 works on tablets! However it seems the android app is still at version 4.0, so I guess we have to wait for an update.

    Right. The Android app doesn't have this functionality at the moment, but we're going to port it over soon.

I bought jump when it was only $7.99. It worked like magic and I never opened SplashTop since. For anyone reading this, this app is amazing and works both on iPad and iPhone. Since you can get it for free from the developer, then you can't lose. Definitely gonna try it when I upgrade my windows machine. So far it works great to access my mbp

That looks quite amazing! Thanks! As an aside, I've actually been meaning to learn about writing drivers for a while, especially in preparation for a uni course. So with windows 8 here and all of it's cool touch gestures, it would be even cooler. So I'm not sure if you would know this, but can you point me towards any resources for essentially simulating touches? I was thinking of building a battle Etch-a-sketch app for a school project, that would actually have two players use two etch-a-sketch systems in drawing stuff. If it was only one user, I could use the mouse pointer, but being two, I probably need touches. I hope I made myself clear enough. If it's better for you, just email me at alexsb92 [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks.

  I'm not exactly sure what you want to do. If you just want to handle touch input in Windows 8 then take a look at this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh465387.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh... . If you want to simulate touches programatically then take a look at this api: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh802881(v=vs.85).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh80... Edit: I don't think you'll need to write a driver either way.
