VSTs, Ableton & More Coming to the iPad?

Well, maybe, sort of... Apparently OnLive is bringing Windows to the iPad. If you aren't familiar with OnLive, they are an online streaming company that currently focuses on the gaming market. Basically they run the apps on their servers and you can then run the apps on virtually any system via their client app. Their app is currently available on Android and is coming for the iPad. Windows 7 desktop is coming, and the best part is it will be free. The question is will you be able to purchase and install your own apps on it?

Via MacRumors via GigaOm:

"Since applications are running on high-end computing clusters in OnLive’s data centers, the only thing holding back performance is the network. Which means that in today’s world of pervasive broadband connectivity, Windows applications running on an iPad could potentially be faster than those running on a standard Windows 7 laptop.

OnLive is making the Desktop app available in a freemium model through which users will get 2GB worth of cloud storage and the ability to use Windows 7 applications such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint, as well as other utilities and games. Documents can be stored in the cloud and accessed from any device with a web interface. In the near future, OnLive expects to launch Onlive Desktop Pro, a more robust service that will offer up 50 GB of storage, priority access, additional apps and other features for $9.99 a month. It also promises collaboration features for enterprise users such as sharing documents or working on virtual whiteboards."
