This would allow you to use the programs on your desktop remotely from your iPad. Not only with this be useful for me, it would be great for my PhyEd teachers. They want to use Skyward, Fitnessgram, etc. from their iPad in the field (outside). Currently these programs are not available on the iPad. The iTeleport should allow the PE teachers to access their programs remotely. ||
