Wyse Offers Desktop Virtualization for the IPhone

[4me2]

IPhone and iPod touch devotees can now access their PCs or virtual desktops remotely using PocketCloud from Wyse, released Thursday.
Because of the iPhone's small screen size, compared to a standard PC display, intuitive navigation is key. The PocketCloud user interface supports standard iPhone gestures, which, for example, make it possible to zoom in closer at a part of the screen or move around on the display.
PocketCloud is based on VMware View Open Client, which was first released by VMware in February to let business partners integrate their products with the VMware View platform, according to Fredrik Rynger, senior systems engineer at VMware.
"It works like you expect an application on the iPhone to work," said Rynger, who has played around with the PocketCloud client.
PocketCloud integrates with the VMware View 3.1 connection broker, which manages connections to virtual desktops. It also connects to Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista Business, Windows 7, and Terminal Services features on Windows Server using RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol).
Users can also install the PocketCloud Windows Companion on the remote or virtual machine. It adds server-side browsing that supports Flash, Silverlight and Java. The companion also adds automatic keyboard detection.
Traffic is secured using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and there is also "experimental" support for RSA's two-factor authentication, according to Wyse.
PocketCloud is available for US$29.99 from the App Store. PocketCloud Windows Companion can be downloaded for free from Wyse's Web site.
The product will be demonstrated at VMware's user conference VMworld, which takes place in San Francisco between Aug. 31 and Sep 3.

Has anyone tried this or a similar solution? I'd love to be able to view my PC at home from my iPhone so I can manage my downloads etc. I've tried to install a few clients but never managed to get them working or have been worried because i'm using a cracked app that is sending traffic via some server.

Been trying to find a cracked version for the last 2 days with no joy !

£17.99 on appstore. Again I think you're pushing it using cracked cos everything's done through a logged in remote account.

yeah i know where you coming. Considering its free for window mobile users (if they use Opera) logmein can go fuck them selves

I'll give it a try to see how it works, i'll not use my real email address though like i did with the co-pilot cracked app doh

Just had a thought, i'm going to install logmein on my work's laptop and then tether to get to my PC at home. No need to use the cracked app then I'll only use it for a few min's to check my NG downloads etc.

Sorry to take this OT but i've installed logmein on my laptop and its showing as a 30 day free trial. Does it revert to the free version after 30 day's?

ahh good plan. They won't have your email address but they can pick from the following (all supported by the api's)

your serial number.
your mac address,
your network and current IP's (wifi and cellular)
your UUID,
your phone number,
your location (although you have to agree to this one)
etc.

As before I'm only saying what's possible, not what they actually do (which no one knows for sure)

This is true Malty, thats why i've opted to try and get it working using my Laptop and the internet tethered from my iPhone instead. That way the only thing i'm doing wrong is tethering lol

I wish it wasn't so easy to do things that we shouldn't, its far too tempting!

I use Jaadu VNC with a VNC client on my laptop and it's great. It's very intuitive and doesn't work through a logged in account.
