The WinMo version is free (works in the IE Mobile browser with a plug-in app) and the Android version is $30. Since LogMeIn acts as a connection point, getting the phone and PC to connect is a lot simpler than with the WinMo remote desktop app, and works with more versions of Windows (e.g. XP Home.) They offer paid and free versions of their service. The free version does remote desktop, but doesn't redirect the PC audio, and doesn't let you copy/paste files between the connected machines. (Being the infinite cheapskate that I am, my workaround is to simply right-click and email myself any file I want to transfer from the PC to my push email account, which is instantly received on the mobile. Ain't true multitasking wonderful?) ;)

That is one of the neatest things about Remote Desktop for mobile besides the full screen mode and how easy it is to transfer files back and forth.

I just have a heck of a time remoting in via cellular from some reason. (RDM works great at home on my own network via WiFi where I don't need it to!) ;) I'm sure its some firewall or port forwarding issue I haven't sorted. One of these days I'll figure it out. Until then, LogMeIn works well enough, and also lets me remote into XP Home/Vista Home Premium PCs. (I was really hoping MS was going to add RD to the Live Mesh Mobile software, like its desktop counterpart, but instead MS is pulling the plug on Mesh, rolling it into the vastly inferior "Live Sync," and dropping mobile support altogether! Thanks, MS!)

Remote desktop even runs faster on non standard ports through free wifi because of the port throttling going on to lower bandwidth usage. -- iPhone 4 is to cellular technology what the Titanic is to cruise ships.
