Just to give you another option from what Mike, Al, and Craig have mentioned.

There is a perfectly save and fast way to use your app wirelessly. Any RDP solution. We particularly like this one:

Super simple administration and performs more like RemoteApp than full RDP. It's very, very cool. You can install it on your "server" and have the workstation run your app remotely. It will look like a native app on the workstations but it will in fact be running on the server. Super fast, super simple, and eliminates data corruption issues with wifi.

Last cool part: With this product you can run your application on Windows, Macs, iPads, and Android tablets.
