The same company also makes a program for the iPAD called "Remote Access Lite" which is compatible with both Windows & MAC machines which is FREE.  I'll be writing about that next, however, do remember that this a very ADVANCED service which offers suits professional needs and multiple computers.

When I first started using my iPad, I was a little nervous about useable applications because they mostly appeared to cost more than applications for the iPhone.  I don't mind spending $1 or $2, however, when it's between $5 & $20, I have a hard time committing to a purchase of an application which may be a complete dud.  For that reason alone, I usually try to stick with free applications and, if there is a "paid version" which offers more features, I will usually upgrade if I find it useable.

Today, I'd like to make a mention about "RemotePC Remote Access for the iPAD.  This application allows you to use your iPAD to access your Windows-PC through the internet so you can access files (or whatever you may need) from a distance.  Additionally, it allows you to access multiple computers, which could be critical if you work from a variety of offices, or need administrative access from reasons pertaining to your style of business.

In order to access files on your PC, you simply install the "sister application" on your computer at home.  Both your iPAD and your computer somehow connect to RemotePC's servers so they can locate each other, and it becomes very easy to locate information on your computer at home if the need should present itself.

Remote PC actually allows you to view your computer's screen on your iPad, the connection is 128-bit encrypted, does not require a static-IP address, allows you to transfer information between two distant computers (home vs office, for example), print remotely, and add multiple computers to your account.

This is a great application for people that work from many computers, and utilize an iPAD as a mobile device.  It's an excellent method of bringing computers together without having to invest in fancy networks.  

It should be mentioned that this is a very advanced service!
