OnLive Desktop Plus impressions: A Windows 7 desktop on your iPad, now with a browser (Digital Trends)
Digital Trends - In January, video game streaming company OnLive decided to enter the remote desktop space with “OnLive Desktop.” The service allows anyone with an iPad (and soon Android or any other computing platform) to access a Windows 7 desktop in the cloud and use it much like any computer. It comes with 2GB of cloud storage and access to Microsoft Office applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. All for free. Unfortunately, it was missing one critical element: a browser. OnLive restricted access to the browser and didn’t allow the installation of apps. OnLive Desktop Plus changes this.

Vonage Mobile pivots iPhone app into a much better place (Appolicious)
Appolicious - When I reviewed the Vonage Mobile for iPhone app back in 2009, it was a very different beast.
