Let’s talk about the new clients…

VMware View Client for iPad 1.2
Building on the earlier View Client for iPad we released in March, VMware View Client for iPad 1.2 makes it easier, faster and better than ever to connect to your View desktop.

Optimized for VMware View 5 Glimlach
With support for VMware View 5, you can get better performance with reduced bandwidth options as well as more resilient connections to your desktop than previous versions.

Move Back and Forth between Windows Desktop and iOS Apps
Now with support for background multitasking, you can jump from your Windows desktop to another iPad app and then right back into the Windows desktop to where you left off!

Simpler to Connect with Embedded RSA Soft Token Knipogende emoticon
If you need to use an RSA key to authenticate to connect to your View Desktop, just activate the RSA soft token built into the View Client for iPad and you just need to enter your RSA PIN when you connect to your View desktop.

Support for iOS 5 and Apple AirPlay
That right… VMware View Client for iPad 1.2 works well with iOS 5 and takes advantage of Apple AirPlay and an available AppleTV to use your big screen TV as a display for your View desktop. While some people might think that Apple TV is just for fun, it can now blur the lines between work and play and represents the best the post-PC era has to offer.

Work Smarter with Presentation Mode *
Use an external monitor or AirPlay in iOS 5 and the iPad display turns into a trackpad / keyboard while the external screen shows your View desktop!

Speaks Your Language
The latest VMware View client is now available in English, French, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean. When working multi-byte Asian languages, the new local input mode enables you to type in full lines of complete multi-byte words and then send them to your View desktop.
