I have downloaded the Remote Control program By BiTween but just the shareware part to see if its working fine and it is but I really don't have any speciall use for this sort of program, I just want it for fun so 60$ is a little to much to pay just for fun 8) . Do anyone know if there is anouther program that do almost the same but costs less? 😃

You can use the VNC server/client (freeware/Open Source), but performance/usability is not comparable with remotecontrol. In fact from my point of view it is not usable, while remotecontrol works ok, given the facutal limitations of the small screen.

Iv'e tried the VNC server but I didn't get it to work, but ofcourse, maby I did something wrong 😉

But again, what it for? U tried RC before and got so excited about it on my first try bute after a couple of tries, thats it. The best thing I can think of was that if you left your pc at home running and you need to shut it down. Another was, if ever I get kidnapped I could secretly pop up notepad and send text! This could also be used to scare the hell outa someone :evil: 😃

Lastly, it gives you bragging rights on on what your P800 can do! 😊
