Is there an app similar to the Air Mouse for iPhone or GRemote for use with WP7? I use my phone to control my computer's pointer when streaming content to my tv. So anything that will let me control my computer over wifi would be nice.
Thanks.
I don't think such apps exist, but you might want to consider other ways of controlling streaming with your WP7, they might be actually better if you're streaming from a Windows PC.
Im getting my Omnia 7 next week. Is there no app to remote control Zune Software on the PC?

There is an App called Win+Ctrl+7 in the Marketplace works just like Airmouse on the iphone.
Hi,
I'm looking for a remote desktop app which has mouse support. I'm currently using Teamviewer, but it's quite annoying that I have to use my mouse to control the virtual mouse.
So if anyone has knows of an app that would suit me, please let me know
Would be very nice to connect the phone to a screen and get access to a powerful computer and not feel like you're using a RD but the real thing.
EDIT: If it's not too much to ask, I would like the option of running as high resolution as possible.
Anyone here use a remote desktop to try and control their HTC Sensation and run any ICS firmware?
I'm using Remote Web Desktop and when attempting to remotely control my phone I just get a garbled screen. Have also tried various other VNC options and all result in the same....apart from the Android Screencast.
I am running Virtuous Inquisition 2.1.0 with the latest 3.24.x firmware, and Windows 7 Home Premium x64
I don't see many posts about remote desktop but I've found that using my Surface RT + remote desktop to connect to my Windows 8 Pro computer at home is an amazing way to work. The touchscreen even works to navigate the remote computer.
And, since the micro hdmi on the surface supports 1080p, I can connect to a full size screen.
Does this actually work fine then? It's what I plan on doing tbh, I have a media centre PC under my TV that I want to install Windows 8 Pro on and use Remote Desktop.

it works very well. I do prefer the classic RDP client over the new RT one though because of easier touch gestures.

The screen on the htpc will lock when you rdp in. If you want to see the screen on the tv and your surface you'll have to use remote assistance.

Doesn't bother me too much... although it'd be good to have both, I just want tot have the option there to run Intel apps *if* I ever had the need.
It's actually awesome! I use Vuze a lot for movies and such. I have them saved on my computer, and use the network link to move them to my Surface. I was thinking I would need to do it thru the SD Card, but this is much easier

Is it possible to use the older RDP client and enable monitor spanning to remote connect using the tablets screen as well as a 1080p monitor?
For the sake of argument, could you use the remote desktop to use image editing software such as Photoshop through the Surface? Obviously, the screen is probably way too small in terms of both physical size and resolution to really be of much use but for less complex editing it would be awesome...
Absolutely. Bear in mind that the Surface RT doesn't have a stylus digitizer, so you'd be stuck with capacitive touch or mouse+keyboard for input (although now that I think about it, you can probably use a Wacom USB tablet with the Surface's USB port...) but in general, yes you could do this. I already have Remote Desktop pinned to my Surface's taskbar (along with Powershell, which also allows a different kind of remote access).

That is good to hear! My dilemma has been that I want a portable device so that I'm not glued to my desk for the majority of the day but the major obstacle has been finding a tablet that can actually do what my computer does. Remote Desktop sounds like an answer.
What would the frame rate be stable enough to remote my computer and remote desktop from work with no lag?
For example, internet browsing on chrome or watching a youtube video through remote desktop.

Or you can download google chrome and the app for remote desktop for chrome....Works pretty good for me.....should work fine for surface....or RT...
You should search the forum - there is a thread on Remote Desktop, and it explains how to use Remote Apps, which imho, is the best way to utilize x86 apps on your surface RT...

I get little to no lag running Photoshop, AutoCAD, etc. For the few times that I actually need to run an x86, this is the way to go. Do not expect to stream movies, or music from your desktop - although, I guess it depends on your connection - I have my home laptop connected to Linksys G router (im sure if I upgraded to N, it might be faster).
I found an interesting company (Mikogo) who have launched a cloud based Windows 8 desktop (which is actually Windows Server 2012). This doesn't have a windows 8 app but runs through HTML. In theory this would be great as it says you can install your own apps so is less restrictive than Cloudon and Onlive Desktop if you've used those on other platforms.
I requested an account and could then access a desktop via HTML5 using IE on my Windows 8 PC. However it doesn't work on my Surface RT browser (Metro or desktop) as the mouse cursor is not captured for some reason (I've tried via the touchpad and a mouse via USB). Note that even on a PC the performance is slow, although this is a beta.
If anyone wants to try this out I'm curious why it doesn't work in the RT IE10 browser but it does on the desktop. I did feed this back to Mikogo but they don't have an RT device to use (they suggested I try another browser on RT )
VNC has already been ported. Does the job, can be controlled by either device PC or RT.
Type remote desktop in the search charm. Set it up with your desktop running windows 8. You will notice that your surface is running your windows 8 desktop just like its a totally different surface. You still swipe in on the left to pull up the charm bar but instead of getting info from your surface it pulls up all your desktop items. You can run all your x86 programs right from your surface. I just watched a mkv file on vlc player using my remote desktop it was a little sketchy but very usable. I just thought it was a good way to switch between the two. Im sure many have used this just thought some may like to know!!
