I downloaded the Moacha RD from apps store and installed it on my IPad. Found of all the remote desktop apps that this only required the computer ID and password rather than an installation of another program on the PC that is to be remotely controlled. Quick safe and easy.
I can now control everything from inside the house using mu iPad. Wonder why I hadn't done it before. Too easy.
I use iTap works with XP, vista or Win7 remote desktop.
Another appp that may be of interest is NetPortal, allows easy access to your Windows file shares, simple and very effective.
I've also downloaded most of my user manuals/tutorials as PDF, I use PDF reader (Kdan mobile are the authors), I was pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of this app, not only does it display PDF, but Word and Excel files, plus it has a simple wi-fi sharing upload interface using IE or similar web browser.

I use itap and jaadu rdp, neither require any software to be installed on you pc. Just click on manual set up and enter your details and your off. I use vnc for my astro stuff though as remote desk top seem to mess with guiding.
i changed the remote application that i was using to Splashtop remote as I found it was far quicker and more responsive than the Moacha RDP although it does require an intallation on a computer and a purchase price of about $5. Very pleased with it so far. Can access all PCs on the network as well as videos and files etc.
