Is it possible?
this does the job. not cheap though.

Or you can use Puppet Master

or you PEBBLES remote commander, available free; just google it and you will find it. it works great.

I like "Logmein". It will switch off and on if you have wake on LAN. In short you can start and run any programme you would normally, including print etc etc.
Logmein is free though you have to register for obvious reasons as you can control any computer with internet access.
Find it here:
https://secure.logmein.com/
I beleive Menneisyys will be reviewing this type of application soon.

Yup, the reveiw will be published, it seems, tomorrow - I'm doing the last small fixes on it.
in the meantime, I recommend the "Shutdown?" row in the comparison chart at http://www.winmobiletech.com/PPC2PCRemoteRoundupTable.htm . In a nutshell, all remote controller apps can shut down the desktop PC, except for RDP-based ones.
What can I say, looks like menneisyys (the man who never sleeps!) is about to do it again. Even the comparison table is brilliant.

y pay (for software) to shut down your home pc! i use terminal client service to shut down home pc all the time!
MakaveliReturns, although remote control applications probably do more than ud like for them to do, they can accomplish ur purpose and i think ull love what they can do for u..
its just cool neway and comes in handy when im at school n such.
and a vote for logmein, a free wonderful tool, just got to register and install on ur pda and the computer u want to connect to, doesnt require the remote pc to confirm, just a psw ull have to input upon connection
good luck =)
Hi all, not sure if anyone wants to go this far, but I found an old Compaq DL580 server, and bought a remote lights out 2 card for it, bacisally the remote lights out card is a small webserver that has its own NIC and power, it detects for CE devices at login, and even has a slightly trimmed down admin page for it, I have had issues with RD spazzin out on me at times, and didn't really like the other remote login choices, I have to admit it put a big smile on my face powering on my server from my tytn with the tap of the screen, sorry if I went a bit off topic, I know this was just about powering off a pc, but for about $200 or less you can have total control, and not rely on 3rd parties, or microsoft.

I also use logmein. The great thing about this is that you can also use another pc to remote control your pc instead of you pda.
Does anyone know of a way to use your wing as a tv remote? possible? and also can i use my data plan internet connection to use remote desktop? can you point me in the direction of a tutorial maybe?
i have been wondering the same thing, it would be awesome if there was a program to use your wing as a universial remote, i know that there is a program for psp
well the wing doesn't have an infrared port, so I'm pretty sure it wont work with some type of adapter *cries*
I can confirm. Because the Wing/Herald/Atlas has no IR port, it can't be used as a tv remote.
I suppose if you had a media center you could issue commands over like wifi or something. I know there are like vnc programs for ppc, and you can use it as a mouse.

Wow dude...congrats....I think you post more than anyone on here!
Well, how sophisticated do you want to make things? Check out LinuxMCE.com... The possibilities are endless...
i suppose you could patch it through ip or something, but that gets complicated enough that you might as well just reach for the remote

Hi all,
I just had an idea: I was wondering, if it is possible to connect the X1 either by bluetooth, WLAN or USB to the PC and use the X1 keyboard as a keyboard for the PC.
I was also thinking, that the touchscreen could be used as a kind of touchpad (like on notebooks) to control the mouse pointer on a connected PC.
So I was searching the Internet if anybody wrote a software that can just do this, but had no luck. So my question is: Does anybody know a software that can just do this?
Cheers,
foo
P.S.: I know there are some remote controls for winamp & co but this is not what I'm looking for. Actually I'd like to have something like this for a much more smaller amount of money by using my xperia and a special software.

There's something on this very forum for a VERY small amount of money - all you have to do is learn how to search and it's yours. I'll even give you a clue - it' in the "Development & Hacking" section.
Go here http://t2remotetouch.blogspot.com
Is there a thing like that that use bluetooth only? like a usual bluetooth keyboard or mouse.
like that: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/features/bluetooth.mspx
Thanks kostis60, this goes in the right direction, though it lacks the touchpad feature which I'd need really badly. This app is more like "Windows Remote Desktop" or VNC.

nueUSBkeyboard is what I use - nt bothered about track pad - I think there is something that works with this but not sure of name.
And there's a paid for prg that works over bluetooth aswell but again its name slips my mind
Check out Pebbles. It allows controlling of the PC via Touchpad and Keyboard (Hard- and Softwarekeyboard). It is for free and works via Bluetooth and Wifi.
Nice Gadget but a wireless mouse and keyboard is more convenient from my perspective.
You could also use MS Remote Desktop Client to atke remote control of your PC.
Also LogMeIn works even better.
I think he is more looking for software to make the device a mouse/keyboard, not remote desktop software. These are two very different things. +1 for nueUSBkeyboard though.
Mobileremote by mobilesrc is what you are looking for.

MobileSRC MobileRemote Xperia Issues
Okay, is it just me or is anybody else having the following issue with the Xperia keyboard when using MobileSRC MobileRemote..?
When I use the keyboard all of the 'Blue' characters are displayed rather than the letters. The only button that also has a 'Blue' character assigned to it which works correctly is 'Q'.
The buttons without 'Blue' characters (A, S, D, F, G, @, Z, X, C, V, RETURN, TAB, DEL) work fine.
'W' gives me ", 'E' gives me /, 'R' gives me & and so on.
Shift doesn't work either.
I've tried pressing the blue button, Sym and everything else but no change.
Any ideas?
Regards
Sonny

I have the same issue, but the developer announced a new bugfix release in the next couple of weeks also including some bugfixes for hardware keyboards.
I had tried this application before. At that time, it didn't yet work well with the X1. Now, however, it's getting really close to being fully functional.. nice!
Current issues I find annoying:
- HW keyboard support (always in FN mode)
- Touchpad can't go fullscreen (except for LMB and RMB ofc)
- Connecting it is a bit awkward (though should be full auto in retail version)
I'll soon be buying a media center with my TV. I'm hoping I can get my X1 to be the HID. Little more fixes and this app will do all I need.

I bought the application and connecting works like a charm.
As I need the touchpad functionality most of the time, I bought it even with the keyboard problem - still worth the money for me
In case I have to enter something, I switch to the software keyboard.
try this
sailing clicker -
does exactly what you ask...with extra media player functions etc.

[Q] keyboard and touchscreen as mouse for remote controlling pc? >not remote desktop<
Hello,
I'm a total noob regarding to software for WM6.5, but i wondered, is there some kind of program that allows me to use my phone's keyboard and touchscreen as keyboard / mouse for my desktop? Would be nice for my plasma tv with desktop connected to it..
Thanks in advance.
Bouke
I use this
I use GRemote. It's a client-server program. One part runs on your PC, the other on your WM or Android phone. I think there's a free and a Pro version, not sure, might just be the paid version (which I have) and it's *AWESOME*, I use it just like you'd mentioned - I have my PC hooked up to my HDTV as a HTPC/media center, and I can use my phone as a trackpad, air/gyro mouse, hardware keyboard, media remote, generic remote, and gyro joystick/racing wheel/etc for gaming. It can connect over WiFi or BT. I don't want to sound like I'm going to marry it or anything but it is a pretty awesome program. The media remote functions work with Winamp, WMP, XBMC, VLC, others.
EDIT: Sorry, got so hot and bothered talking about the program, forgot to mention the website. It's at gbmsoftware dot com.

Thanks for you reply Looks great! Going to try the demo right now, when i like it as good as you do ill purchase it(only 10$)
Greatz
hmmzz can't get the damn bluetooth to work... I have 2 dongles and my laptop but it won't work yet... Did you have any problems getting it to work?
Yeah got it to work new rom did the job, latest energyrom running my tp2.
Really great program, just the features i was looking for a long time.. Tough the connection is a bit laggy, or is this because it's just the demo version?
Yep! pretty nice.
Works great now! And true man, really awesome program, good features
Thanks!!
I use adhoc network it's faster
Sent from a parallel universe using my RHOD210 and xD a app
The primary reason I bought the transformer was to be an RDP client (I already had 2 other tablets). For the last week I've been disappointed (almost regretting my purchase) because the RDP support was so bad.
I needed a true RDP client so MyCloud/Splashtop wasn't an option.
I tried several:
1. Wyse Pocketcloud Lite and Pro (which I love on my phone)
2. 2X
3. XTRALOGIC
They are all nice, but none of them are good enough for regular use. I need an RDP client that supports:
- Full screen (auto-fit) resolution (1280x750?)
- Right click (via usb mouse)
- Drag and drop (via usb mouse)
- Wheel mouse (via usb mouse)
- alt/ctrl keys
I finally found a solution: Remote RDP. It support all of the above. I didn't test the trackpad, but it worked great with a USB mouse. I've only used it for 20 minutes, but so far I'm fantastically impressed.
Links:

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.toremote.rdpdemo&hl=en
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.toremote.serversmanager
Update: 2X has released an update that works OK with the transformer and android 3.2. Right click was working, but I can't get it working anymore.
Good timing on the post, as I was hoping to find one. I used Teamviewer but as it goes across the network I didn't want to deal with the latency since I only need access over my internal network.
Are you using "Lite" or the paid version? I am wondering what ~$10.27 gets me in extra usage, but I will check this out tonight.

For now I'm using the lite version, but if I don't run into any issues I'll be upgrading to the $10 version. The lite version doesn't have a special soft keyboard for the function keys, but the pro version allows you to save custom keyboard shortcuts (ex. ctrl+shift+f12) for quick use.
Remote RDP Lite, excellent client and I think it has all the features you mentioned although I can't try the drag and drop so I'm not sure.
Edit: Sorry didn't see your edit!!

I cannot post a link, but you can find Remote RDP in the market or google for toremote.

Sounds very interesting. Does it support video that writes directly to the frame buffer (eg. Windows Media Center in full screen mode)? What frame rates do you get? And any idea how much bandwidth it's consuming?
I like Splashtop, but it'd be really nice to have an even more capable solution...
I've tried RemoteRDP, but couldn't ever get it to connect to my server running win 7 pro 64bit. Wyse Pocketcloud was the only one I could get to work without some sort of server program running on the computer (splashtop, vnc)
right click was one of the big ones, I sent the log to Remote RDP and he was able to do it within a few hours....which was excellent. However splashtop is slower, I sent them the same log/message basically and they still havent got time to do it. I guess they might be too busy? I love splashtop because it streams well, but the right click is such a essential feature.
GREAT to hear this! So glad app devs are starting to support features like right-click and scroll... great news.
I'll try RemoteRDP soon... although my server will also be an x64 machine running Win7Pro.
lordgodgeneral - let me know if you do get yours working (I'll do the same).
It's an excellent client.
It would be perfect if he could get two finger scrolling to work with the TF touchpad.
The only problem I have is that it turnes off local keyboard (I don't have keyboard for Transformer).
OMG! This is awesome! Just tried RemoteRDP Lite and it worked "flawlessly". Everything works, including right-mouse button, drag-drop, cut/paste. This makes me soooo happy! Finally, I can use my Transformer the way it was supposed to be used
Thank you for posting this. You made my day!
Win7 x64 works for me

I've been using it with Win7 x64 Pro on multiple machines (home and work). Works perfect in both cases. I also tested Sever 2008 and XP x86 (both work).

Running regular apps (no video; no games), it renders significantly faster than 2X, but it doesn't handle video as well as Splashtop. Splashtop is very impressive when it comes to streaming video.

What settings/tricks did you use on the app to get it to connect?
I just couldn't ever get it to go. I used the same settings for both RemoteRDP and Wyse, but just kept getting a connection refused on remoteRDP. Wyse worked from the first shot.

I don't know of any trick. I set the following fields:
- host to my ip address
- port to 3389
- username = xxxx
- password = xxxx
- screen = autofit
I left everything else to the default. All of the other RDP clients worked fine for me as well (with Win7 x64).
Oh, wait. When I originally setup RDP on my Win 7 box, I did select "Allow connections from computer running any version of Remote Desktop". If you don't select that, you must have an NLA capable client. I haven't tried it, but Remote RDP Enterprise claims to support NLA.
2X now has has great mouse + keyboard support
I just installed the latest update to 2X. It now supports:
- USB mouse
- scroll wheel
- ctrl/alt keys
- right click
- drag/drop
It also has the virtual keyboard for function keys that Report RDP doesn't handle as well.
if somebody can find the Remote RDP non-lite and non-enterprise holla, the enterprise one crashes and the lite one is missing sound and stuff

Why not use VNC client and a mouse?
Mouse should work in USB port. I have not tried, but it seems a good option.

Because Splashtop is so far without equal in terms of framerate. It's possible to watch fullscreen video with audio on the tablet via a desktop or notebook PC, without significant degradation. At the moment, it's basically the only way to watch Netflix on the Transformer, too.
