Plain Virtualization

Yes the very first VMware User Group (VMUG) Singapore Conference is happening on 23rd Jan 2015! It came a long way, from the first VMUG meeting held from few members to a large group of members now.  From a meetup every couple of months to almost every month.  As it matures today, it has more and more sponsors/vendors sharing their technology and road map as well as special speakers. Coming the first month of next year (not too long to wait), the very first VMUG SG Conference will be held at Marina Bay Sands.  This is the first time a full day conference been held in Singapore.  There are already many in the States and Australia however this is the very first milestone for Singapore.

The android view app have been updated to 1.2. I do not see any significant different from the Tech Preview version but I felt connection was faster. Maybe this was psychological. Will post a review on the loading from a View 5.0 performance.

VMware has release the View app (Tech Preview) for Android Tablet. I have tested this on Windows XP and Windows 7 using View Manager and also Security Server on VMware View 4.6.  Both works very well. The Android Tablet used here is Asus Eee Pad Transformer.  Below is the picture of a connection made.  It works just like the app on iPad with the mouse pad and multiple finger gestures. Asus Ee Pad Transformer with Honeycomb 3.2 which also comes with a keyboard dock which I have and it looks just like a netbook. Could the future look like this with a simple hardware to access all desktop? With low hardware cost of SGD700 like what I have here a Wifi model.
