Subject: Linux/Unix on iPad? Yes you can!

Dear Brian,

If you have an iPad, StarNet has just launched an app that will
significantly improve your ability to access remote Unix and Linux hosts. If
you've been thinking about an iPad, iLIVEx may just be the apps to justify
the expense.

iLIVEx ($14.99) is a fast, secure and fault-tolerant X server for the iPad.
Cool things you can do with iLIVEx:
* Display remote Linux and Unix desktops or individual X apps from any host
that has the LIVE server installed.
* With just 5 finger taps, redisplay X-Win32 LIVE sessions from your Office
PC onto your iPad.
* Display Web sites with Flash on the iPad
* Run multiple applications (email, browser, spreadsheet) at the same time
and copy/paste data between them
* Reconnect to your Linux desktop when the iPad gets turned of or after you
temporarily switch to another iPad app.

See http://www.starnet.com/products/ilivex/ for product detail.

You can purchase iLIVEx from the App Store for just $14,99. That also
includes:
* 1 Free Account on a StarNet-hosted Linux server in case you cannot use
your company's Linux/Unix server for personal use.
* 6-Month license for X-Win32, LinuxLIVE and MacLIVE

Below are links to nice articles that have been written up in iLIVEx:
