- There are lots of options..
IMT-VNC is good and free if you know how to set up a VNC server on your PC and deal with the port forwarding and dynamic IP issue
RDM+ costs a few bucks but eases the setup hassles..
If you need something that can do RDP specifically you will find a few Android apps that will work now with the OS2 dev beta..10-21-11 03:13 PMLike 0 - I use TeamViewer on my notebook computer and access it via the TeamViewer website from my tablet. When I need to access my server or one of the virtual machines hosted on the server I have started using WebShell running in a virtual machine which allows me to access the host server or any of the other virtual machines, if command-line does not scare you, from the web browser on my tablet. Admittedly, I am trying to move to a completely "cloud-based" environment to ensure accessibility from my tablet or any computer with a web browser.
Damn Research In Motion for not including an ESCape key and an INSert key in their QWERTY keyboard smartphones... then I could use vi.rotorwrench likes this.10-21-11 09:53 PMLike 1 - Thank you very much for your inquiry and your interest in a TeamViewer version for Playbook.
We are currently observing the development of the iPhone App in order to be able to make any further decisions concerning the development of applications for other mobile devices.axpado likes this.10-21-11 10:02 PMLike 1 - LAME. was hoping at least the android version of teamviewer worked. it doesn't. the 2 vnc apps in the store are garbage. and no teamviewer now? ughhhhhhhh.

I'm using it form my Android phone and it's working very well but it would have ideal to use PB with larger screen.03-19-12 02:34 PMLike 0

- The TeamViewer website works perfectly to allow me to control all of my connected PCs. Only thing is that the response is much slower than i expected and without having a mouse cursor makes it a bit challenging to navigate my desktop. Think it's about comparable to using the TeamViewer app hats available on the iPad. If you setup all your remote PCs with a partner profile, it makes logging in much easier. Screen real-estate for TeamViewer on a PlayBook is challenging and better done on a larger screen, but not impossible.

Has anyone used Teamviewer in a browser on playbook? With a bluetooth mouse can you right click and all that?
If they don't support PB with an app I'm wondering if I can get by with a paid subscription. then of course there is a droid app, so maybe that will be ported?
Either way it seems a mouse will be necessary to control the tiny screen. I have seen meeses used on Playbook that magically make a windows like cursor appear on PB.03-19-12 04:19 PMLike 0 - I use teamviewer on my iphone and android tablet, but imt vnc on the playbook. I think IMT vnc is the best RDP for bb right now. The teamviewer or logmein from the website sucks imho. I have to refresh the screen everytime after I "do" something as if it's not real time.
For those that said imt VNC is not encrypted for data, that is true. I never figured out how to SSH or anything like that for the playbook or for my 9700. But have you tried to sniff the port and see what you get? There's thousands of lines of characters that whatever someone is looking for, they would have to write a application for it. I can't see screens, and the text is not laid out in a neat and easy to read format. It's just a bunch of garble.
If you try and use a non encrypted password, and then sniff the port, and search for that password, good luck.03-19-12 07:00 PMLike 0 - I can't get VNC to work. I'm running the client on my desktop... when I try to connect from PB I get the error "An IO error occurred: ioError @2031"
Any ideas?
Thanks04-04-12 09:07 PMLike 0 - What VNC app are you using on the pb and what VNC server are you using on the host?
On the same lan, it is pretty straight forward. Just enter your internal ip address and port you set up and just connect. Try it without a password first, and/or do not require encryption of the data transmission. Either set it to off or prefer.
