Some thoughts on VNC Viewer for iPad

Why do we need it? When do we need it?-          It is used to control laptop, desktop remotely.-          We need VNC because we don’t want to bring our laptop, desktop everywhere, while we still want to do something with software installed on it (like games) , or files inside it.-          We need VNC because sometimes it may be more efficient to use touch-screen (with iPad) than mouse (with PC) for jobs like Photoshop, etc.
Because of Virtual Network Computing, you can do things on your computer anywhere, anytime you like. It is portable and convenient.
How does an app like VNC stand out of its competitors:User experience:-          Low latency (most important), control should be smooth-          High image quality-          Easy configuration-          Supports as many operating systems as possible-          Secure, your computer cannot be controlled by other people’s iPadTechnology:         Core technology is about low latency and high image quality, which consists of:-          Collects only the necessary data from operating system, e.g. standard output-          Compress data, like Youtube, different resolution under different network condition; Data compression can be tricky since human eyes have different perception to different color, for some color, even we lose it, we may not notice it, which can be a way to compress data, besides the pure bit-level compression-          Since desktop and iPad need to communicate through internet, maybe the company should invest money on ISP to ensure a better internet speedPricing strategy:         In my view, the best pricing strategy will first lure users to give a try, then make them adapted to it, when users feel they cannot live without it, they begin to charge more. Based on this, the pricing strategy can be:-          Trial version for 30 days-          Charging at different price based on user’s requirement on latency and image quality
Overview:         Unlike games are competing design and creativity , VNC and similar apps are competing their technologies, which is relatively straightforward. Furthermore, since this app has a high demand on internet speed, I think this market is still waiting for improved network technology to become really popular.
