GraphOn Corporation has announced its new GO-Global iOS client which adds support for the 3.5-inch screens of the iPhone and iPod touch. The software natively supports the 10-inch iPad display as well.

A new release of the GO-Global iOS client replaces GraphOn’s popular GO-Global iPad-only client by becoming a native (universal) app for all platforms.

Despite the changelog mentioning iPhone and iPod touch support as the only enhancement in version 4.1.3.12332, other new and improved features include boosted navigation, voice-to-text input, auto-resizing on device rotation, increased performance, and optimizations for the Retina displays found on Apple’s newer iDevice models.

Customers can employ the iOS client and use it in conjunction with GraphOn’s GO-Global Windows Host solution to seamlessly deliver Windows applications to their iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.

“iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch users can now interact with their favorite Windows programs using just their fingers,” said Christoph Berlin, GraphOn’s vice president of product management and marketing.

“Our GO-Global iOS Client uses intuitive, multi-touch gestures to achieve popular mouse and keyboard operations. Windows applications appear on the iOS device just as though they were running locally, retaining all features, functions, and branding.”

The software is available immediately as a free download from Apple’s App Store.

Existing GO-Global Windows Host customers can access emulated Windows apps from their iOS device by simply downloading the free GO-Global iOS client from Apple.

iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch users who wish to evaluate GO-Global Windows Host can download the GO-Global iOS client, connect to GraphOn’s online demo server running several popular Windows apps and try the service for free. Users will not be required to sign up or register.
