Remote Desktop with an IPhone\Ipod Touch.

[AndrewThomas]

I've never been a big Mac fan, but this Ipod Touch is really making me envy the mac users with their Iphone SDK. Anyway, I'll cut to the chase, I never knew this was possible, well, I knew it was possible, because I've seen java apps run on the Ipod Touch before, but you can remotly control your computer with the Ipod Touch, it's actually pretty neat. I didn't make this video, I just you-tubed it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dq7IDEDt78

I wish the Zune stepped it up a bit. I mean, they're still making people pay to develop on their console(even though the developers sort of earn it). Personally, I hate it when a console locks the developers out. The IPhone, jail-broken doesn't do that.

Yeah - Theres a remote desktop application you can buy from the Appstore (I have iPhone), I've used it a few times to connect to my PC at work.

Theres also another very good application called Opal or something - Can't remember - but it allows me to access my files on my Pc from anywhere as long as i have an internet connection, Awesome stuff.

I'm a pretty big fan on the iPhone, now if it was an iPhone hardware with a Linux GUI, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

The Google phone is pretty good, I'm just not too fond of the design & architecture of the phone, but from what I heard about the interface it's apparently alot better than the iPhone. I think it's only a matter of time before apps will be created for it because it is open source if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, but I've only seen sales of the GPhone for around $400 CA, which is a bit expensive for me :S
