Picks of the Week

Sunkast's pick: Emit Media Server

Emit allows you to watch videos live from your PC, Mac, or Linux computer directly through wifi or 3G. Not all devices support every video format out there. But with Emit, it will encode the video into a supported format, and stream it to your device without having to wait for it convert entirely. Emit also supports srt subtitles, mkv subtitles, switching between audio tracks in movie, and even DVD folders. Plus you can stream your entire iTunes collection to your Android device. Emit is available both Android and iOS devices.

Andrew's pick: OnLive Desktop

OnLive Desktop gives you the freedom to work from anywhere. Build PowerPoint presentations with graphs, even videos. Then present them directly from your iPad or external monitor. You can also update Microsoft Word docs on the go. Use touch, an on-screen keyboard or handwriting recognition to view, edit, redline and comment. Add and analyze data with the full functionality of Excel. Create graphs anywhere, then simply drag and drop to update your Office documents.
