Does anyone know of good remote control software for the Blackberry? I am looking for something like UltraVNC or RDP to get in to a Windows XP workstation.

Thanks

I would be shocked if anything like this existed. That would be way to processor intensive for most cell phone CPUSs, and the terms and conditions for most, if not all, data carries prohibit this type of constant streaming data use. Then there is the problem of how useful would this even be since you would not have a mouse on your cell phone to control the XP desktop.

If there is something that does this more than likely it will only work on a Windows CE phone. Non-MS RDP apps almost never work that well.

I would also guess that VNC is a no go since I dough the BB have X running on them.

Thanks, I have one user that can't use a Blackberry because he needs this feature.

Ok I am. How does this work though? You have a screen that is too small to display your desktop, no mouse and no windows Start button on the BB keyboard. So how do you control your desktop?

With your trackball/wheel. Why not download and try them out?
