Virtual Machines in Your Browser

This is the kind of thing that will make me buy (finally!) buy a tablet. I don't understand why it needs a workstation backend, though. Honestly, as far as I can tell, the tech behind this should be capable of forwarding a physical machine just as well, no?

There are already RDP and VNC clients written in HTML5/Javascript available. If you want to get access to a physical machine, just use one of those.

This project adds support to VMware Workstation, etc, to do a similar thing, so that you don't need a custom VMware client app on your device.

I've tried them with very little 'practical' success. Have you found anything stable and fast (esp. on iOS)? I haven't found anything that gives anywhere near a usably fluid experience, sometimes even over WiFi.

I use the iOS app iTap RDP regulary and it works great, with minimal input lag.
