myPhoneDesktop Application Review

2010-05-29
oh hey guys so I'm here today with an application review that I think you guys are going to really like I know I guys I saw this app just a second later I bought it and using it and I've loved it I mean it is called my foam desktop so basically what this app is all about is it allows you to push different information from your computer to your iPod iPhone or iPad cut sound simple but guys it's really really good um so if you're taken with my computer screen you go ahead and there's two there's two per clients you can run you can either run the web client which would just run inside your browser I've all you have to do is log in or you can go ahead and run the standard client for Windows Mac and Linux so I'm on windows 7 so I'm running the Windows client okay so basically the way this works is that you have to have the app on your iPhone iPod Touch or iPad and then just I have it it'll automatically start running on your computer all I have to do is log in the first time they'll remember and you after that okay so the way this works guys is that all you have to do is type something on your on your computer and it will send it over to your iPod or whatever now guys this might seem kind of odd but there's a lot of really cool things you can do with it okay so for example my first thing I'll show you guys is how to send a web address okay so I'm go ahead and open up maps let's go and open up maps okay so you see here I've got searched one infinite loop at California so I have to do is copy the code and then go ahead and then punch in the URL okay so that's the Google map so all I have to do is hit open and then we'll send it over and my punch should pick up in just a second and there you go you scoop automatically it's launching the Maps application and it sent me to one infinite loop so guys that's just one example of it it's very very quick and easy I do notice that when you're over a kind of spotty Wi-Fi networking it can kind of get a little bit slow but generally it'll if you as long as you have it set to automatically search every five seconds you shouldn't have any lag at all the next main thing that you'd use this application for is to send text over now of course this is a bit less useful but it's also a bit more useful depending on who you are um so let's take for example you need to tap a word document you need to bring it over to your ipod or whatever and you need to go on a trip or something well it's very simple with my phone desktop yeah all you have to do is just take it and just paste it in so you see that and then you have a couple of options you can just have a show on your iPod or iPhone or you can have it copied to copy the text so you can paste on something else so for example we're gonna go ahead and show it so send it up send it across and in just a second it should pop up on my ipod and there we go so as you see here you guys this is a full Word document and then what we can do now is by clicking the top right right here we can go ahead and copy or assign the contact Twitter so we can go ahead and copy it in the first place and then we can go ahead and bring it over to the notes application or whatever you use for your documents and stuff so that's another really cool feature now the next one and arguably guys this might be one of the coolest ones is to send images over okay so this worksheet just strings simply so I have an image right here something's go ahead and click this and pull up the desktop just going to open it okay so now you guys can see it's loaded it now I can have a copy to the clipboard on my iPod which obviously that I could paste anywhere I want I can just have a show on my iPod or I can have it saved to the Photos app just what have it saved to the Photos app so it just takes just a second and you can see here it says image saved you see here that it sent that image over very very quickly and if I'd like to take a look at my foes app it's already in there so I can go ahead and have it and do whatever I want with it very very cool stuff now the last thing you can do with my phone desktop is send either a phone number or an SMS and of course guys this is only iPhone only but if you want all you have to do it does not display properly oh if you're using an iPod Touch or I'm sure an iPad but basically all you would have to do is type in the number which that's not so useful what is is typing an SMS so what you might want to do is instead that you know typing it out on your cramped iPod I mean iPhone keyboard you go ahead and very simply send it type it all on your computer send it and it will go ahead and send no problem that's a pretty cool feature I've gotta say okay guys so there's one last thing and this is the web client so basically this you don't have to install anything at all all you have to do is go to my phone desktop comm and click the running browser button then you go ahead and of course you just need to sign into your account but all you have to do is you download it and well rather go ahead sign in you don't have to download anything at all and then you will be greeted with this little box and just to show you guys it works it works just the same so we're going to go ahead and do text let's type in hello YouTube okay so now let's go ahead and have it show on my ipod and there we go just as fast it's not there's not a big difference at all whether you're using the web client or on your computer so it's a very very cool thing anyway guys this has been my review and demonstration of my phone desktop the images is pretty handy where you can go ahead and just send it over it does not work the other way around but that's not a big deal so you can when sent it over and of course text you know pretty old to bring more documents or anything that you need on your iPod iPhone or iPad you go ahead and type it up on your computer send it over and you're all set anyway thanks for watching
