Windows Desktop Mobile vs GoToMyPC vs LogMeIn
I have occasional need to be able to access my home desktop, either from my Touch Pro 2, or another computer. I am currently in the 30-day trial of GoToMyPC and it works quite well in both situations. It is $9.95/month if I keep it, which while not excessive, is still an expense. Also, the File Transfer function is not a part of the PocketView version I have to use on my TP2.
The free version of LogMeIn does not support File Transfer, which is one of the functions I'd like to have, and the "Pro" version is around $70/year - cheaper than GoToMyPC, but again an expense.
Remote Desktop Mobile requires me to have Vista Business or Ultimate on my home Desktop PC, which unfortunately is Home Premium, so I'm unable to even try this out.
Is there anyone here who have used all 3, and can give a comparative evaluation of how well they work, especially on the relatively small TP2 screen? Are there any aesthetic or functionally significant differences between them?
There apparently is a way to get RDM working on Vista Premium, involving the Registry and some other steps, but I'd like to know if it's worthwhile before going down that road.
If the free LogMeIn works basically the same as GoToMyPC, for less money, then that's something to consider. Without the File Transfer function, I'd have to open up Outlook and email myself a given file, which is a bit cumbersome, but do-able.
Any experience with these apps appreciated, especially from those who have used all 3.
