SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- DEMO Fall CONFERENCE -- Today at the prestigious DEMO Fall 2010 conference, Parallels (http://www.parallels.com) will premiere a new complementary Parallels Mobile app (http://www.parallels.com/desktop) for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. The app and service allows users of Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac and Parallels Desktop 6 Switch to Mac Edition, which launch today at retail stores worldwide, to use their iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch to access and utilize Windows applications running on a Mac from any network, from anywhere, at any time.

The Parallels Mobile app, a client and a service built upon the MyParallels services platform, is complementary with either edition of Parallels Desktop 6 and can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store after 12:00 p.m. PT today.
