Parallels has released a new ‘Parallels Access’ app that lets you use your desktop Mac OS X and Windows applications on the iPad. The app utilizes familiar iOS gestures to control Microsoft Office, iWork, Photoshop or any other application.
With Parallels Access you can increase your productivity by accessing your computers and desktop applications from anywhere. You are able to access your professional business applications and get all your entertainment such as streaming video from your Mac or PC onto your iPad. And do it as though all your Windows and Mac applications were designed for your iPad.
Only Parallels Access lets you apply all the familiar iPad gestures you love to the Windows and Mac applications you need. Tap to start any PC or Mac app, use the iPad magnifying glass for precise control and do it all with fewer misses. Select text, and copy & paste in your desktop apps just like they were made for the iPad. Even copy from your Mac or PC applications and paste to your iPad apps.
Tap, swipe to scroll, pinch — use the same familiar iPad gestures, but this time use them with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and more), Apple iWork (Keynote, Pages, Numbers), Internet Explorer, Adobe Photoshop or any other Mac or PC application.
Don’t let a slow connection slow you down. Parallels Access bridges the gaps introduced with low bandwidth connections, giving you a more continuous, uninterrupted experience so you can do more while on the go. And if you’re on a fast network, Parallels Access will make it soar.
