Can you Remote Control Windows PC from iPad?

[cheez]

Can you remote control Windows PC from iPad through remote access app? I would like to be able to RDP into Windows PC to access the computer from iPad. Will this work? Anybody tried this?


thanks,

MS Remote Desktop Connection for iOS

Worked fine on my iPhone, but of course it's painful to navigate on an iPhone.

How about VNC?

I'll be damned... that's impressive. You can even do it from iPhone? yikes...


How would you control say from iPad? Can you get a mouse for this? or is it all done via touchscreen?


thanks,

LogMeIn also works.

And yes, it's all done via touchscreen.

These iPad toys are getting me more impressed day by day. 😀

I did this years ago. I just searched the App Store for "VNC" and downloaded everything that was free.

Yeah. Did this with my first iOS device (3G at launch in 2008). It was a third-party RDC client.

It is done through the touchscreen. In the apps I've used, you click a mouse icon and then you can drag the point around the screen and click on things. The pointers typically have a small control ring around them and you click a small button on the ring to do a right click. I wouldn't want to do serious work this way, but it is very useful in a pinch.
