Calling all Win 8 developers and fans! As you code and debug your Windows 8 Metro app, test it out using an iPad!  Get a feel for how your app will behave on a tablet running Windows 8 with touch gestures enabled.

Splashtop is the ONLY app that allows you to experience the Windows 8 Metro UI on an iPad.  If you’re a Windows 8 app developer, this is a great way to preview the capabilities of your app on an actual tablet using touch gestures.

Run Windows 8 on an iPad

 

Windows 8 Metro touch gestures are supported, so you can take advantage of all the underlying touch capabilities of Windows 8 as you build your app:

  • Swipe from the right to view the Charms menu
  • Swipe from the left to switch apps
  • Pull down from the top to close an app
  • Swipe slowly from the left to run two apps side-by-side ("snapping")
  • Pinch to navigate files, folders, apps and data with Semantic Zoom
  • And more


Win8 Metro Testbed is a must-have app for anyone who’s trying to build a great Metro style app without incurring the high cost of a Windows tablet!
