Feature request: Windows Phone support

Hi,

 

Please consider adding support for a new client - Windows Phone.  In particular, it would be great if you could add support for Windows Phone 7.x (maybe Windows Phone 7.5 is the minimum).  I know that Windows Phone has a small market share.  And I know that Windows Phone 8 is the new platform.  However, Windows Phone 7.x apps will run on Windows Phone 8 as well (so you only need to target Windows Phone 7, and you'd get support for both platforms). There is nothing like Jump Desktop available on Windows Phone, that does NAT traversal via Gmail.  (And in Windows Phone 7.x, there's virtually no VPN support, so this would make your product even more compelling).

 

Thanks for your consideration,

Notre

  Jump Desktop Support November 16, 2012 20:50

  Hi Notre,

  We've considered adding Windows Phone 7.x support in the past but besides the business reasons there is a major technical hurdle which prevents us from supporting WP7. WP7 doesn't let us reuse our extensive C/C++ code base. Thats a deal breaker for us. Microsoft has fixed things in Windows Phone 8. Windows Phone 8 now makes it possible to reuse our C/C++ code just like we've done on Android, iOS and the Mac. This why you won't see WP7 support for Jump - we will however consider doing a WP8 version.

  Thanks for the response. It makes complete sense. I guess I shouldn't have bought a windows phone 7 :(

  Definitely looking forward to Jump for WP8. You guys could really corner the market since all of the others on this platform are horrible.

  there are no other apps like this on WP8 or Surface. 40 million copies sold already on win8. Please consider placing this in a higher priority. Also Windows Live ID support would be nice for login authorization

  Purchased Jump for my iPad. Only thing I use on it! Win 8 is a revelation in comparison with iOS. Please release for WP8! The other remote solutions are a joke in comparison with Jump. Big fan of your solutions.

  Definitely would like to see it for Windows Phone 8!  Been using Jump on iOS and Android and the software is awesome!  Just got a Windows Phone and would love to use Jump on it.
