PPC-to-PPC control

[$incere]

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of a program that allow me to remotely view and control another phone. Simply put I would like to find software like MyMobiler that will allow me to control another PPC from my PPC either through Blutooth or WiFi access.

I tried searching but couldn't find anything like that.

Support wise, it would be cool to access a phone on our company WiFi to address any support issues. Personally any man or woman could use it to see if their spouse is really surfing the net or chatting....to each his own.....LOL

I think there is a software like that, called "bluetooh hijacker" or something like that. Remember seeing it somewhere before a couple of months ago. Kinda old now. If you cant find it here, you always have google.

cool concept, could use it at work when setting up network stuff and so on.

Familiar with VNC, the open-source multi-platform remote desktop system?
There's a VNC client for WM, but I also noticed somewhere a VNC host/server app as well. Technically, it was designed to remotely monitor your phone from a PC, but with client software on another phone I don't see why you can't log in from phone to phone.

I found free software for the Remote desktop half for my mogul, and installed it but I think that i hit a brick wall as far as setting it up because my Home version( on my desktop) of vista does not include remote desktop for my computer, apperantly only the vista Business, enterprise and i think ultimate are the only versions that include it for the desktop. i have been browsing and i think i need some sort of VNC program for my computer that will allow my remote desktop program on my mogul to axcess my pc. Any suggestions?

This is a great idea.

"thinking out load"

You have to have some known address to even make the connection to the phone. For instance, an IP Address that is known by your current network or can be found on a public network. This address could be static or dynamic and you would have to know it before you can attempt the connection.

Someone could try to take two phones, install Remote Desktop on both, then connect them to a WiFi network and attempt to make a connection between the devices. That would be the first step that I can think of...

Actually, I would think if something like this were developed, it could be done by simply knowing the mobile number. The initiating phone could send a specifically formatted text which could be intercepted by the software on the phone to connect to. It could then respond with the IP address needed to connect to it.

It would be a similar algorithm to those used for silent GPS phone tracking.

That is a good idea. Do phones with data connections (GPRS) obtain IP Addresses or someother type of unique address where a connection could be made?
