Review part two: WOW!
This app blows me away. Network connection is almost instantaneous. Can remotely wake/sleep your home computer. Your iPhone/iPad screen becomes a touch screen monitor. This is a godsend for anyone traveling and needing access to files on your home computer. Works over 3G, but maybe just because my iPhone is jailbroken and I use 'My3g' app.

Setting up over a local network was a snap, but to access my router's IPA, I had to configure a port connection to connect to my desktop from afar. I'm heading out to the airport, so will try it from there.

Gerhard (and anyone else) : here's an app for iPhone or iPad that allows remote desktop function. Probably more functional on iPad with its bigger screen. Remote Tap is $4.99.

Pic below shows a hookup on the same local network. With a more or less static IPA, you should be able to access from anywhere. If you want to hold off buying until I field-test it, stay tuned.
