Remote Desktop Mobile and Windows 7 Demonstration on new Sprint 6.5 ROM
 
With the excitement that came with the new Sprint 6.5 ROM also came Remote Desktop Mobile. Remote Desktop is old news and I am sure we have seen it running in the past. But using the Touch Pro 2 and the glory of its WVGA resolution makes the experience a lot more functional. Lets not forget that the hardware keyboard makes this that much better, something the HD2 can only drool for. For those that have never seen Remote Desktop Mobile in action I would like to share my experience I had on my Touch Pro 2 with this demonstration running Windows 7, including loading web pages, photoshop, bluetooth transfer, and MS Office.

I don't know where I can get these

From your Windows desktop login info:
Use whatever your desktop login username is when you sign in to Windows, and your desktop login password.
Then whatever you have named your shared domain to be on your PC, when you set up network sharing.

Don't forget that only certain versions of Windows support Remote Desktop -- for example, Win 7 Home Premium does not, but Win 7 Pro does.

Only W7 Professional and above can be remote into. Any of them can remote out to.

If you are below the Pro, then use logmein on the FREE version and you can do it!

You need to open port on your router.

I remote in all the time on my TP2 to all my virtual/fake computers.

Not to be johnny raincloud but Ive been doing this for a while now via my mobile phone, first on my mogul, then touch pro and now touch pro 2. I can tell you that the only way to achieve that kind of speed as shown in that video is to have it connected via a local connection or wifi hotspot. there is no way, I repeat NO WAY to get that kind of fluidity via a standard sprint EVDO network. Ive tried and its all choppy. I have to turn off all the extra features in the mobile remote desktop app to get it to be semi quick. I have almost the same hardware as well. Q6600 desktop with 8GB of ram. It does work fairly nice though if I need to view a file on the go Ive left on my desktop.

EDIT: and if you look close in that video you can see hes connection via wifi.

Its better than nothing. I know its kinda hard to remote on the PDA phone. Its like eating rice on chopstix.

Get a netbook and tether on it.

And rightfully so. Otherwise, any Joe shmoe off the street could log into your system if he had your IP address.

i've also been doing this since mogul days and maybe even my 700wx days? can't remember..

but anyways--as long as i have good reception, my sprint evdo connection is just as good as this video if not better. \

so in conclusion, your statement about NO WAY is inaccurate...maybe your home computers/boxes don't have the best upload speed?

also, i'm also rocking the q6600 yet :)

Its pretty snappy on sprint EVDO in chicago, but once it dips to 1xRTT its over.

maybe its just EVDO in my area, its not that fast at all. at least not nearly as fast as chicago, since the chicago area is 4G now.
