Here’s an iPhone app for you geeks out there. VNC is a virtual desktop server that simply displays and allows you to interact with any desktop running a VNC server. Well, one version of the VNC program, TightVNC, allows for HTTP access so it’s trivial to then get to your desktop just by visiting your PC through Safari. Viola! VNC!
OK, so it’s not earth-shattering. However, it is an application I’m sure a few admins would love.
Project Page via BGR
so you can see desktop…
then what can you do?
Ok. This has got to stop. We get it. iPhone has a web browser. I own one – i can see that clearly when I turn the damn thing on. But I am going to let you in on a little secret. The web existing before the iPhone. Yea … I know … hard to believe. So just because an app exists that can you can load via a browser
IT DOES NOT MAKE IT AN IPHONE APP!
One other note – I would not recommend using TinyVNC over any unsecured network such as …oh I don’t know … the internet!
Damn, Dude…..nerd-rage much?
until they create an sdk, even CG is an iPhone app. Apple has basically said “Do all the heavy lifting elsewhere, the iPhone processor is for graphics” and now the whole world of web 2.0 is in a tizzy because they can now widgetize everything. It’s sad, i know, but it’s true.
ryan – you can interact with the desktop as well.
That is pretty useful, though I imagine it must be hard to navigate your desktop on such a small screen.
