LogMeIn remote administration for Windows Mobile

LogMeIn has a slew of products that let you remotely access PCs on the go. While LogMeIn is commercial software, you only have to pay for the fancier versions that let you do things like access files and printing on your home computer.

LogMeIn's free client lets you log into your home computer from a web browser. There's even a Windows Mobile version that lets you access your home computer from your PDA or Smartphone browser. (Once you get the hang of it, this means you can kind of surf the web using Firefox from your mobile device... connected to your home PC).

Now it looks like LogMeIn's going in the opposite direction. The company is testing a new beta application called LogMeIn Rescue Mobile that lets you access your Windows Mobile device remotely from your desktop. Say one of your clients/coworkers is out in the field and has trouble with their phone. You can login remotely and access data and settings to retrieve information for them or fix problems.

Of course, the phone will need a working internet connection. In order to gain control of the phone, you'll need to direct the user to visit a web site and download an applet. Once the connection is established, a virtual Windows Mobile device will pop up on your desktop and you'll be able to configure settings, or conduct a demonstrations and training sessions.
