Microsoft has released a remote desktop app for Windows Phone, just as promised. Microsoft Remote Desktop Preview is available on Windows Phone 8.1 (which itself is in preview mode for now). The app allows you to remotely control your Windows 8 PC with your Widnows Phone smartphone. It offer the same multi-touch experience offered by Windows 8, as well as allows users to stream high quality video and sound. Here’s the complete feature list:
– Rich multi-touch experience with remote desktop protocol (RDP) and RemoteFX supporting Windows gestures
– Secure connection to your data and applications with breakthrough Network Level Authentication (NLA) technology
– Simple management of all remote connections from the connection center
– High quality video and sound streaming with improved compression and bandwidth usage
The app can be picked for free from the Windows Phone Store here, but required you have Windows Phone 8.1 on your phone. It’s still in preview, so you can’t really blame Microsoft if the app has a few bugs or issues.
