Cross-device computing experts at Splashtop scored a deal with Lenovo, which will preload Splashtop’s apps on its tablets and PCs. Starting in May, customers purchasing Lenovo PCs will get Splashtop Streamer out of box, while those who go for Lenovo ThinkPad tablets will get Splashtop Remote Desktop HD. This is turn will allow users to create a personal cloud and access files on a PC from their tablets while on the go.
Of course, Splashtop is also available for other (non-Lenovo) PCs and tablets; it’s just that you have to pay to use it. At the moment, Splashtop Remote Desktop HD retails for a special promotion price of $8.99 (regular price is $19.99) and Splashtop Remote Desktop for $4.99 (regular price – $9.99).
Personally I rely on other cloud-based services to access and move files between my computer and mobile devices, but I know few folks who can’t live without Splashtop. If you’re in that group and you also happen to love Lenovo products, now you have one more reason to cheer for your favorite computer brand…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
