Over the past few weeks, I’ve been testing three top-rated VNC remote desktop apps for Android: LogMeIn Ignition ($30), PhoneMyPC ($10), and Wyse PocketCloud Pro ($15). Now that I have an Android Honeycomb tablet in my go bag, however, I’ve decided to give smartphone remote-control apps another chance to prove themselves in daily use. ![]() Ultimately the smartphone is just a bad device for controlling bigger devices (or at least, for controlling their desktop interfaces). Most of the apps I’ve used do work as promised but the small convenience that these apps offer hardly justifies all of the swiping back and forth, zooming in and out, and repeated screen tapping required to get a desired action to take effect on the remote system. The problem is clear: Smartphone screens are too small to be useful for navigating around and controlling a desktop screen. In the past year or so, I’ve tried a few smartphone VNC apps, but all of them did a woefully inadequate job of controlling my desktop computer.
