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

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,

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.
