PCMobilizr takes on LogMeIn, GoToMyPC; offers WinMo and BlackBerry support
LogMeIn and GoToMyPC have been remote desktop access staples for some time, but there's a new kid in town. Rove Mobile is showing off their PCMobilizr product at DEMO and while it has the same general functions as the older, established competitors, it offers one feature the others don't: support for BlackBerry devices, which is a huge boon for the enterprise.
With PCMobilizer you can remote back to a desktop using your Windows Mobile or BlackBerry handheld. The company touts a simple, three-step configuration process and then you're in control. Rove says the mobile goodness doesn't stop with these two platforms either. They've got plans to support the iPhone, Nokia handhelds and Android devices too. The service currently offers a free 30-day trial and the monthly fee is $9.95. I'm betting a remote desktop would look right purty on a large-screened VGA device like the HTC Advantage James is using. Anyone else interested?
I use Logmein with the HTC Advantage everyday. This is why I don't use a laptop anymore. So far I can not find a device to replace it esp. with the Think Outside Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse...talk about a mini laptop... Thanks to Logmein. It Rocks!

This has to be the best find for a mobile IT person who is in a jam. I LOVE it! Hope the LogMeIn folks catch on.

I can only get to see my PC screen on my BB with Logmein. It highlights the whole screen but how can I go to the password box? I'm stuck there. HELP!
