Parallels Access
The Parallels Access iPad app ties into a subscription service that lets you tap into your home or of-
fice PC remotely, whether it's a Windows PC or a Mac.
What sets Parallels Access apart from other apps that provide remote access to com-
puters is that you get to use
all
the programs that reside on your PC or Mac, including the
proprietary software that your company may employ. Moreover, you can interact with those
applications on the tablet as if each were designed for the tablet, and even use a browser run-
ning Adobe Flash on the iPad mini.
You start any PC or Mac “desktop” application on the iPad mini from a familiar-looking launcher
screen with icons for the apps you use most often. Such a screen is shown in Figure
19-7
. You can
add or remove icons to this launcher screen.
