*From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

*Splashtop Remote* allows a user to remotely connect to a main computer 
from another computer or mobile device 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splashtop#> to access content or run 
applications. Splashtop Remote 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splashtop_Remote> Desktop is based on 
technology that "encodes" the screen pixels of a main computer, 
transmits them via the Internet, Wi-Fi, or other network protocol to a 
client device, where it "decodes" the transmitted data and displays it 
on the screen of a client device. This affords users an experience 
similar to sitting in front of the remote computer 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splashtop#> and controlling it. The Remote 
Desktop iOS client provides two connection modes. One is "sharp mode" 
for better resolution. The other one is "smooth mode" for better frame 
rate/latency. A higher fps (frames per second) rate leads to a smoother 
video watching experience. For latency, a lower value is better because 
this is the lag between the time an image on the source device shows up 
on the client device. Splashtop 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splashtop#> has undertaken technical 
cooperation with Freescale, Intel, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, 
and other chip manufacturers to optimize its software to use graphics 
processing units (GPUs) for encoding and client specific processors for 
decoding. These techniques enable the software to stream video at up to 
30 frames per second^[2] 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splashtop#cite_note-1> when running in 
Smooth mode, and lead to low latency performance (quick response), which 
is at the same level as playing video on a local machine directly.

I just want to use the video streaming part of it, one can get the full 
version ok its just the version that Amazon has modified to use with KF 
that is not available so they are just being bloody minded for some 
reason known only to themselves
