Splashtop has just announced that Splashtop Whiteboard for Android tablets is now available in the Google Play app market.

I use Splashtop Remote Desktop with my HP TouchPad tablet and my Droid Incredible 2 smartphone to connect and control my computers from my devices. It is an excellent app and very useful for me. Splashtop Whiteboard is built using Remote Desktop. I've also used Splashtop OS on my netbook.

With Splashtop Whiteboard teachers and students can connect to a computer over Wi-Fi from an Android device or iPad, to enjoy Flash media with fully synchronized video and audio, control their favorite educational applications and annotate lesson content with a full-featured toolbar. Teachers can interact with students at their desks or from all four corners of the classroom.  

Splashtop Whiteboard is built on top of Splashtop Remote Desktop, the company's award-winning app that enables users to create their own personal cloud to access files, applications, as well as view and listen to content, directly from a PC or Mac without the need to sync or copy files or applications across devices. 

Splashtop Whiteboard is now available in the Google Play market for $9.99 (on sale!)

pult is a free site that allows you to use your smartphone to stream videos from YouTube or Vimeo, photos from Flickr and Picasa, presentations from Slideshare, and your Facebook data, to any web enabled device.

You open up pult on your computer or other device you want to share to, then go to http://pult.io/ on your smartphone's browser and enter the code that your computer or device shows. Hit connect, and off you go.

On your smartphone you select which service to connect to and what to share to your device.

Easy and quick to use.

This could be useful for teachers, students or presenters when making presentations and you can also use it to share things from your smartphone to a larger screen without logging into anything on the larger screened device.
