Asus Eee Pad Transformer Includes Windows 7 Remote Desktop Connectivity (video)
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer tablet and notebook keeps looking better and better. We’ve just found a demo of the Eee Pad Transformer which shows off the Asus MyCloud software. This built in software will allow you to connect to a Windows notebook or desktop and control the computer from the Eee Pad Transformer.
As you can see in the demo, the Eee Pad Transformer can be used as a portable notebook that works almost like you had a local copy of Windows on the Eee Pad Transformer. This is great news for users who have stayed away from the iPad due to a desire for a more full featured computing solution.
While there are remote desktop applications for the iPad, the inclusion of a mouse and keyboard in the dock really extends the usefulness over the not always intuitive mousing found in many iPad apps.
The Eee Pad Transformer arrives at numerous retailers on APril 26th in the U.S. and Canada for a base price of $399 for the 16GB model, $499 for the 32GB model and $150 for the keyboard dock that includes a battery.

Looks great! Do you know if ‘My Desktop’ will work from anywhere, or does the tablet have to be hooked up to the same wireless network as the laptop?
According to Asus it should work “anywhere anytime” so I expect it to work wherever you are. This one has my really excited. can’t wait to try it out.
If the desktop emulation works away from home as smoothly as it does in your video, this could be a killer app. The only thing stopping me from buying an Android tablet is the lack of support for Office (specifically OneNote–thanks, Microsoft, for leaving Android out of the game!). I need to be able to access my (large) OneNote database when I am traveling, and the emulator could be a great way to do that without having to deal with large, clunky sync processes between tablet and laptop. I also need to mark up documents (pdfs, etc.), so I’d need to find a decent stylus option. Seems like there are more and more of those on the markets these days. Very excited to try out the Transformer…
