This app works great with the Kindle Fire and will not require any complex steps to get up and running for most people. This app called Splashtop Remote Desktop for android Kindle Fire.
My
only complaint is the lack of optional end-to-end encryption at the
time of this review. This is one reason why Splashtop is so much faster
than the competition. On Splashtop's official support forum, they also
admit this was done on purpose to maximize performance. This is fine,
but I think there should be optional encryption for those who won't mind
slower performance in favor of a more secure connection on public
wi-fi.
You do indeed need to create a security code for your
computer and the Android app so it's not like your computer and your
Android device is left wide open to be taken over, but the session can
still be snooped on. The good news is that I read a forum post by a
staff member on September 1, 2011, that additional security features are
being planned. I will edit this review when those security features are
released.
Another piece of good news is that encryption isn't
really needed when you use this app to connect to your own computers on
your own home network as long as your wi-fi is secured properly
(preferably using at least WPA2). When using Splashtop on public wi-fi
networks at restaurants, cafes, library, airport, etc, you are at a risk
since there is no encryption like with some other remote desktop apps
for Android. Honestly, most people are not going to bother snooping on
your remote desktop session or even know how to do it, but the risk is
still there if you happen to be on the same public network as someone
savvy and crooked enough to do it.
So for now, I will only use
this app on my own home network. Until they update Splashtop with
additional security features to make using it on public wi-fi more
secure, I rate it 4 out of 5 stars. If you're only going to do things
like remotely play games or watch movies, I wouldn't worry too much
about the lack of encryption. It would probably just make the game or
movie too slow anyway. If you're going to view your banking info or
sensitive documents, then use some caution. The connection between the
bank and your remote PC is secure, but the session between the remote PC
and your Android device could possibly be seen by someone else on open
public wi-fi. Probably won't happen to you, but possible.
Anyway,
no regrets at all for buying this product! For those of you who are
more curious about this topic, I recommend you visit their official
forums and do a search for "encryption" or "secure."
