VNC Lite On Touch

digg this | Add to Del.icio.us
I'm trying out the VNC Lite application from Apple's app store. Recently I've been trying to make my laptops as easy to use as possible. This has involved trying to find a way to control them remotely.Apple's own remote app for controlling itunes is great but what about the OS itself? For example if I get an IM I need to get up to answer it. To solve this I got VNC Lite onto my touch.

It was extremely easy to set up and really only needed the IP and password. I got my full desktop and can access any applications. It even has a keyboard, I'm actually typing this through it and it works well. The delay, especially when hitting delete is a little annoying but otherwise this is a great app that does what it says on the tin. I've to try it now on XP and Vista but I've full confidence that it'll work well. From OS X viewpoint this is a great app and I highly recommend it.

4/5

Twibble For N95

digg this | Add to Del.icio.us
For those of you who use Twitter regularly, I'm sure you'll be interested to hear that there's an excellent Twitter client available for your N95. This client is called Twibble and can be found here. There's both a mobile client and a desktop client. The mobile client is easily installed onto your mobile phone and can be set up to use GPS. I have yet to send an image to Twitter using it yet but I do regularly Tweet from it and I find it works perfectly virtually every time. With direct messages as well as replies all forming part of your personal timeline it's easy to keep track of what your contacts are doing.

There are some problems with it and the most obvious is the fact that it can fail to connect or to update correctly and while you get an error message back it really isn't that helpful. To be honest though this is not a major problem because usually trying the action a second time will result in a success. This is certainly an application that I would recommend to any N95 users who are fans of Twitter. Oh and it's free.

Score: 4/5
