A Chrome Remote Desktop application has now been released for a whole new device experience.
Google has now released a new mobile app that is meant to help to change the way that device users interact with the various different gadgets and computers that they own and use on a regular basis.
The application is meant to be installed on every computer from which an individual wants remote control.
To use it, the Chrome Remote Desktop mobile app must be installed on each computer from which he or she would like to be able to access his or her Android device, as well as on that gadget, itself. The application works itself into the Chrome browser. From the point that it has been installed, the app icon (which consists of two rectangles that overlap) appears on the browser’s app section. A PIN (chosen by the user) is then created when a connection is established.
This mobile app is meant to make it possible for Android devices to snatch needed files from desktops.
For instance, a person with an Android smartphone may be out on a sales call and suddenly needs access to a file that is located on a desktop computer that is located back at the office. Instead of having to request that the file be emailed from that machine – or to have to make the trip back to the physical computer location – it can be grabbed through the smartphone by way of this application.
The original Chrome Remote Desktop was unveiled by Google way back in 2011. At that time, it gave users remote access to a computer from other PCs or laptops. However, this new application will now provide that same type of access experience, only through an Android based smartphone or tablet, instead of relying exclusively on computers. An Apple iOS version of this same app is expected to be released in the near future.
It is likely that this mobile app will hold the greatest appeal to the business community as opposed to the individual consumer, however, there could be some applications for that function among that demographic, as well.
The social network has launched a new application that is providing a far better experience.
The most recent mobile app that has been launched by Facebook, called Paper, is being applauded when compared to the previous application from the social network, which many people find to be far less engaging and far more frustrating.
The purely functional experience from the Facebook Home app has been replaced by visual appeal and ease of use.
With the release of Paper, Facebook has effectively exposed how unappealing its old application actually was and that it is capable of doing a great deal more with its mobile app. Paper is a kind of combination of the existing news feed on a user’s account with news stories and status updates from friends. It has eliminated menus and buttons in favor of more basic screen swipes. Instead of the standard form of the news feed, large images are available (which can be better seen with device tilts), status updates, and videos that auto-play.
This new mobile app also encourages more off-Facebook content consumption.
The reason that it can do this is that users can leave Facebook’s content to view other forms online without having to leave Paper. This can be accomplished by simply selecting the online media category that is preferred on top of the usual items on the news feed. Each of those elements can be seen in the same way as one would flip through a magazine. They include sports. Food, photography, and science, among others.
These new features in addition to a range of stylistic enhancements have made it obvious that Facebook is understanding how vital it is to break away from its older structure. It is trying to avoid the impression that it is aging – as Tuesday represents its tenth birthday. In internet time, the social network is virtually seen as ancient, so it is becoming critical that it remains cutting edge and keeps up its relevance to its users, no matter what device they prefer.
The Paper mobile app is also providing an additional opportunity for Facebook to display ads. It is believed that it won’t be long before users start to see lots of advertising working its way into the rest of the content that is being consumed.
