Reading Time: < 1 minute After the View and vSphere clients for Apple iOS, let’s see some clients for the Android devices: vmwClient: for managment of VMWare infrastructure from Android devices. iVMControl: same of the iOS version see in the previous post.

Some days ago a new version 1.2 has been released on iTunes… with several improvements: Optimized for VMware View 5 with improved performance (but note that also previous versions work with View 5) Support for iOS 5 including AirPlay Presentation Mode for use with external display and […]
