After the iPad app, cross-device computing experts at Splashtop are going for the Android community, launching a remote desktop app that allows developers to simulate a Windows 8 environment on an Android tablet.
Win 8 Metro Testbed for iPad has proven pretty popular, scoring the #1 grossing iPad app overall spot in 4 countries, the #1 grossing iPad app in utilities in 72 countries (including the US, Japan and China) and the #33 top-grossing iPad app overall in the US.
Now by popular demand, Splashtop is launching an Android app with support for screen sizes of seven or ten inches and resolution of 1280×800 pixels. Using the application, developers are able to test native Metro UI touch gestures to code and compile new apps on their Windows PC.
Win8 Metro Testbed comes with support for a number of native Windows 8 Metro touch gestures, including the ability to swipe from the right to view the Charms menu, swipe from the left to switch apps, swipe left/right in Internet Explorer to move between pages, swipe slowly from the left to run two apps side-by-side (“snapping”), and pinch to navigate files, folders, apps and data with Semantic Zoom, and more.
Win8 Metro Testbed can be downloaded for a special launch promotion price of $24.99, which is 50% of the regular price…
