OnLive for Android Leads Business Tablets Apps of the Week

This week’s weekly tablet business app roundup features some of the best (and latest) tools for the mobile worker. What caught our eye this week was OnLive, released for Android tablets.  The OnLive Desktop App introduces the pocket cloud experience, a  remote desktop functionality at its core.

OnLive’s Android app, optimized for Android 2.3 and up.  One perk over the iPad version is Android’s support for mouse input, giving you even more control and usability. Users can connect to their Windows machines and use Office, view Adobe Reader files and make the most out of what the developer referred to as its “instant-action cloud gaming technology.”

myLock myLock is a utility app that aims to make things a little bit faster on Android. A user can lock the screen or respond to a call considerably faster, while maintaining optimal tablet browsing efficiency.  Check out the iPad version as well.
