I recently got an iPad and I'm thinking it would be cool to get a remote desktop app for it so that I'd rarely need to bring my laptop when I traveled -- I could just connect to my home desktop remotely instead. There are lots of apps out there, and lots of websites recommending various ones. But I trust you folks. Anyone have favorites? I like the look of Jump.

Jump has a free desktop-to-desktop remote software which I just tried and it works really well! Now I just need to decide if I want to cough up $15 for the iPad app.

I use logmein, but let me know if you like Jump

The pro version of Logmein is subscription based, but it looks like Jump provides many of those pro features for free (or $15).

I use Remoter VNC, it's been good for me.

So i downloaded Jump based on Jon's prompt and a need to not be carrying my laptop everywhere. I have tons of pdfs that I keep on my computer but not on my iPad. For that reason, my iPad has been mostly for watching media, but I'm thinking this might help me make my iPad more work friendly.

Jon,

so I bought Ignition for iphone/ipad ($40) I think, and that allows me to have a lot of the pro features, but not pay a subscription. This was a awhile ago, so that pricing stuff may have changed.

Be fast and efficient, these are two essential qualifiers in business, especially in an environment that is constantly changing.

The introduction of version 1.50 of Beesy contributes to this speed and efficiency. Beesy can import Excel files on iPad in order to expose its data during meetings via VGA, or even analyze at any time the data are communicated to monitor the progress of ongoing projects. This then allows to establish a logic strategy according to these analyzes, thanks to the reporting of actions, projects, teams … This is a centralized logic.

Lord, I hope so.
