Our friend Mauricio over at Geekzone has written a terrific review of GotoMyPC for Pocket PC. Now a Citrix-owned product, GotoMyPC permits seamless access to your desktop, even through corporate firewalls, through the use of centralized servers and HTTP protocols. Accessing via the Pocket PC - especially with converged devices like the XDA IIĀ / i-mate Pocket PC Phone - seems only natural.. especially when it comes to Citrix.
"To access the host computer from a remote desktop or laptop, the user needs only to visit the gotomypc.com page, login and select from a list of machines available to that account. A small viewer is then downloaded and once it connects to the host, the user can proceed with authentication and use.
And how is it on the Pocket PC? Pretty much the same, really. Once the user has a connection (Wi-Fi, GPRS, CDMA), she opens the Pocket Internet Explorer and browse to the GoToMyPC website. The page will be formatted for handheld devices. Login and select from the list of available computers. A small (40kbytes) application is downloaded to the Pocket PC, and the connection starts. Once connected the user is prompted for the password (and OTP if enabled) and the system is ready to work!"
Well worth a read!
