image I ran across a fantastic nugget of information this morning…  LogMeIn has a client for Windows Mobile!

I’ve actually started using LogMeIn Free more and more, given that it is (a) free, (b) secure, and (c) a snap to install or walk a remote user through installing.  No more firewall port forwarding like is necessary for Remote Desktop (or port changes via the registry if you need to remote desktop to more than one computer inside the same network).

image So to my delight today, I went to http://www.logmein.com from my phone, a Samsung SCH-i760 running Windows Mobile 6 (it’s huge but it can do a lot), and discovered that they have a VERY useful client for remotely connecting into computers running LogMeIn.  I’ve had the Remote Desktop client on my phone for a while, but the LogMeIn client is arguably even better.  It gives you easy controls for doing things like changing resolution, and I think it’s a lot easier for scrolling around on the screen (hold your stylus on the edge of the screen and it starts zipping off in that direction.

So another tool for my IT "Batman utility belt".  It’s not very practical for doing any real work, but for those strange circumstances that come up in life where you need to fix that "one little silly thing" from the road, it can be a lifesaver.
