Laplink is pleased to announce the release of the retail version of Laplink Everywhere 4. Laplink Everywhere combines superior remote control with a unique web interface for streamlined remote access from any web-enabled device. Users can connect to a remote PC quickly and easily from the widest range of computers and handheld devices, delivering true "Anytime, Anywhere Remote Access to Your PC." Laplink Everywhere allows the user to access a remote Windows-based PC from Windows, Mac, or Linux-based computers and from Pocket PC, Windows Mobile, Palm, and Symbian-based devices " through firewalls and routers, with no special configuration needed, safely and securely.

Unlike GoToMyPC and other "ordinary" browser-based remote control applications, Laplink Everywhere 4 offers both remote control and a web interface that provides streamlined access to files, email, calendar, contacts, notes, tasks, and Internet favorites. Plus, the integration with Google Desktop Search provides users with the fastest possible method to locate remote files and emails from any web-enabled device without launching a remote control session.

"The remote control functionality in Laplink Everywhere 4 matches the competition for speed and responsiveness," says David Hayden, President/CEO of MobileWeek. "But what makes the product unique is the feature-rich remote access web interface. Having both options available in one product make this a compelling, all-purpose solution to the challenges of staying connected to your PC."

The retail version of Laplink Everywhere provides everything needed to access a remote PC from any web-enabled device, past firewalls and routers, without compromising security.

"Laplink Everywhere 4 is a big hit with consumers, especially the ability to google a remote PC using a mobile device. No other product on the market provides this functionality," explains Thomas Koll, CEO of Laplink. "The increasing adoption rates for broadband and mobile technologies among consumers make Laplink Everywhere indispensable. Once people experience this product, they will wonder how they ever managed without it."

More people will now become aware of this amazing and affordable technology. The bottom line is that we are offering browser-based remote access to retail consumers with a street price (after rebate) of under $20, which makes Laplink Everywhere the best value by far in the remote access category."
