Splashtop has released Win8 Metro Testbed, an iOS app that allows you to use the Metro UI of Windows 8 on your iPad.

Are you still controlling the Metro UI with a mouse and keyboard? Stop! You deserve a better user experience. Splashtop is the ONLY app that allows you to experience the TRUE Windows 8 Metro UI on your iPad.

Featured Gestures:
- Swipe from the right for the Charms menu
- Swipe from the left to switch apps
- Pull down from the top to close the app
- Swipe slowly from the left to run two apps side-by-side
- Pinch to do Semantic Zoom
- And many more gestures for you to explore!

Win8 Metro Testbed is great for developers looking to test their Metro applications or users who want to get a feel of how Metro will behave on a tablet. Unfortunately, you will need to have a Windows 8 computer to use this app. A helper application is installed to let you access the UI from your iPad. You can find instructions on how to install Windows 8 on your Mac using Bootcamp here.

You can purchase Win8 Metro Testbed from the App Store for a limited time price of $24.99.
