Run my mac from my storm? Why don’t they figure out how to run my storm from my storm first and then work on a better sync of my storm with my mac before they allow me to run my mac from my storm.

most applications that aren’t basic will just crash the storm

This sounds interesting. I’d like to see a non-Storm bb version.

Currently I am using the Mobile Admin application from Rove to manage my servers and workstations from my Curve. It has a great set of features including VNC, but costs big bucks. If there was an Ignition application for the Curve, I’d be all over it.

I used this application on my iPhone to manage all of my corporate servers. It is second to none and the BEST experience you can get in in the remote admin of PC’s and servers from your mobile.

If you’ve never used Lomein I would highly suggest giving them a try.

LogMeIn on my AT&T Tilt and previous WinMo phones is one of the MAIN things I miss having switched to a BlackBerry Bold.

I used to pay the yearly subscription for LogMeIn Pro but cancelled it when I switched to BB in protest of them not having any method for me to access my PC from my BB.

there is actually a free way to do it through the iPhone as well. click the BGR link from this blog to hit up the iPhone app blog and read the comments.

thanks for chiming in kids. there is always another way…
its just like people paying to upgrade their iPod touch and paying $10 or $20 to do it, when there is a simple and easy free way to do it. if you want it, you can find it…

Yep, you can do it for free using the free Logmein client from a WM phone. Guess that old, clunky OS has some advantages after all.

you can do it with winmo for free thru pIE. too bad its $30 for the iPhone/iPod Touch & it’ll prolly be the same for this.

The WHOLE point here is “LOGMEIN” and if you have not used it you have not a clue to how great it is. It is second to NONE as far as remotely connecting to workstations and servers. Give it a shot today!

@JakeBoy

Please reference one of these many ways to do this.

@JakeyBoy

I think you’re missing the whole point here… It’s special because you can do it on your phone. I haven’t heard of many people who can control their PC from their cell phone.

By your logic, getting a Blackberry at all would be dumb because you can check your e-mail on your PC for free.

How do you do it for free? Especially with a Mac?

By: JakeyBoy

JakeyBoy — Tue, 05 May 2009 16:41:34 +0000

why pay for something you can do for free…
