Is working via RDP on iPad feasible?

[minestrone]

As the application comes through the shop then an RT will work.

You could get an old one for 140ish second hand which I think would work OK.

I am going to try the remote desktop app on my phone tonight when I get home.

Windows Phone and Windows RT (and Windows 8.1) are 3 separate OS... the latter two may share the same AppStore but phones are entirely separate for now.

At that price for a cheap Surface, could be an idea purely to get the USB port(s). They do support external monitors, right?

Do special keys like Windows/⌘ get sent through RDP, avoiding distraction of using the keyboard normally?

That one can be a nightmare on a desktop if you are going through systems with different keyboard languages.

I once ended up putting the characters that didn't make it to the remote system into the DOS prompt so I could copy and paste 'em from there.

What I was trying to say is that until it was released in the store for RT then there was no way to do it.
