iLIVEx is a fast, secure and fault-tolerant X11 client that turns the Apple iPad into an X terminal for Linux and Unix. It allows iPad users to connect to Unix and Linux desktops and applications hosted on remote Unix and Linux servers.
iLIVEx features an ultra-thin data transfer protocol allowing for LAN-like performance, even over 3G connections. Its connections also run over securely encrypted SSH tunnels. Built-in session persistency allows users to reconnect to their remote desktops should the iPad get disconnected, turned off or the user temporarily switches to another iPad app.
Viewing Flash – By way of Firefox on their remote Linux desktop, iLIVEx enables iPad users to work with flash-based web sites and applications.
True multi-tasking – iLIVEx users can work on multiple office applications (wordprocessor, email, spreadsheet, etc.) simultaneously, even copy and paste data between them.
Persistency – Users can reconnect to their remote Linux/Unix desktop at any time, even after the iPad has disconnected from the network. No work is lost due to a disconnect.
Desktop switching – Users can seamlessly switch their remote desktops between iPads, Windows, Linux and Macintosh PCs.
