Remote Desktop (RDP) on iPhone

image MochaSoft, the provider of VNC app on iPhone, released the Remote Desktop app for iPhone, a long waiting iPhone app for me since the first day I had my iPod Touch. As always, the lite version is free.  According to the description of the app:

None of these features I need on my iPhone, so the free lite version fits me perfectly.  Besides, I am using it only in emergency.  RDP on a 3.5" screen isn't actually very enjoyable.  The limitations say it only support for Windows XP pro but I have no problem RDP in Windows 2003 server.

Now, with a paid app NetShare from nullriver through which you can get your laptop on Internet by tethering you iPhone's 3G network while you are on the road, every piece of application I had been dreaming for on a mobile device are there.  Dream finally comes true...well wait, NetShare has been took off the Apple Store again at the moment.

By the way, MochaSoft's other little app Telnet Lite should be added too.

The RDP app was pulled from the Apple App Store for some reason and was just put back on again.  Hurry up to get it installed on your iPhone and back it up on your desktop in case it gets disappeared again.
