Oziexplorer on an IPAD

OK before I say what I did please realize this is a fudge only and not a practical solution which if you read further you will understand but it was fun.

It was wet so I thought I would have a play with my new IPAD.


I had been playing with some software to allow the IPAD to take over my PC and then wandered what OZI would look like on my IPAD.

So here is what I did

I installed a product called
Splashtop Streamer on my PC

I installed an app called
Splashtop Remote on my IPAD

These products can be found at http://www.splashtop.com/remote

The IPAD version costs about $6 the PC part is free


I then got the IPAD to take over the PC. I will not go in to all this but it is not to hard. Helps if you have a GMAIL logon but not essential. It uses the logon to help find the PC. There are also a few firewall issues which you may need to sort out.

I then fired up OZI on the PC (a netbook actually) and then played with it using my IPAD.

The IPAD was nice to use and the screen manipulation was as per normal IPAD stuff.


So if it is raining and you have an hour to spend have a go.

Not a practical solution but was fun.

Hopefully one day there will be an real OZI app for the IPAD.
