Want to see a remote app done right - check out the "offline editor" for the Digico SD8. If you run multiple copies on multiple machines, they network and sync up with each other, so you can see how they work when they're online.
Just finished writing my whole show and then was able to play with it live from my tablet (all without ever seeing the physical desk of course). Very cool layout - friendly for both mouse and tablet pen. This is what I will be doing my national NYE show on. I'm looking forward to using the only major manufacturer desk that I haven't used yet - and it looks like it's gonna be kinda fun!
Not sure if it will beat the Midas "space shuttle launcher" XL8, but it looks like it's gonna give it a run for it's money!
