Control your desktop using zoomVNC for Windows Mobile

ZoomVNCThere are quite a few ways to use your Windows Mobile phone or PDA to control your desktop computer. Probably the simplest solution is to use LogMeIn Free. But if you want a bit more control over your computer and data you might want to check out zoomVNC, a new VNC (Virual Network Computing) client for Windows Mobile.

You'll first need to install a VNC server on your PC, but there are plenty of free options out there. ZoomVNC, on the other hand will set you back $20. But here's some of what you get for the money:
  • Ability to connect to multiple servers at the same time and switch back and forth between connected PCs.
  • Text copied on your mobile device can be pasted into remote applications and vice versa.
  • Create macros for key combinations like Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
ZoomVNC will work with Mac or PC VNC servers, but the developers recommend using Vine Server on Mac computers rather than the default VNC server.

You'll need Windows Mobile 5.0 or Windows Mobile 6 to run zoomVNC.
