Remote Desktop for BlackBerry®

 
 

Designed from the ground up for BlackBerry 10 Remote Desktop for BlackBerry® enables you to connect to your Windows based computers across the Internet from your BlackBerry® and stay connected with your home or Office. Use your full Windows applications such as Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Internet Explorer along with the plethora of other applications for the Windows platform without sacrificing functionality from anywhere. You can leave your computer without losing access to your files, applications, and e-mail and there is no need to sync data as everything will be there when you return.

Do all of this without needing to install third party software or server applications as all of the server components are already a part of most versions of Windows apart from the home versions. As well you will be able to gain access to corporate systems via the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) that are running Remote Desktop services where there is no option to install third party services for remote access.
