Many of you have requested that we port BinTube Usenet Reader to iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) and Android devices or provide a way to remotely control the reader. We just tested an impressive application that makes this possible: Splashtop Remote, a remote desktop application for iOS and Android devices, brings the full BinTube experience to your phone/tablet device icluding video and audio streaming. That's right, full-screen video and audio streaming work perfectly even when accessing your computer away from home. Access from outside your network does require proper configuration of your router to allow port forwarding and the use of DynDNS or similar if your IP address is not static. The iOS version is currently the better of the two and provides smoother video streaming and support for switching monitors if your PC is connected to multiple monitors.
Free trials of Splashtop Remote are available on the App Store and Android Marketplace. The regular price is $4.99, but there is currently a promotion: The iPad version is currently just $1.99 and the Android version $0.99. The app is well worth the full price if not more!
If you have a tablet device you should definitely give Spalshtop Remote a try!
Cool - I gave SplashTop Remote a try and it works great.
I'm also using a program called EventGhost on the PC and Touch IR+ on my iPhone. This lets me create my own remote interface which I use to control BinTube running on my HTPC/TV. Just something to try out - it would probably make for a good blog post.
Splashtop Remote does not work well for me. Video is choppy. Would rather see a Bintube usenet reader app for the android so that videos could be downloaded directly to the MK808 device connected to my tv.

The price is not 1.99 but 8.99 ;(((
The price has gone up since we posted this. But it's still the best streaming app around and worth the cost.
