Remote Droid Desktop

[tekmunki]

Can anyone recommend an app (paid or not) that is virtually vnc/remote desktop for a droid.

I would love to be able to remotely support my fleet of EVO phones when someone calls in with a problem, I could simply 'remote' into the phone and make the necessary changes. (assuming there's data signal)

Haven't heard of that one.

A kludge would be to remote into a pc, then use androidscreencast to connect the Evo via USB.

Used it with Windows RDC, and TightVNC.

Evo's are NOT droids...

To clarify we have a number of EVOs and Droids that I would like to accomplish this on- both run 'android' os.

That's somewhat of a solution, but the reason we purchased EVOs was to replace laptops; 9/10 times they leave their laptops at home now- if they need to do some minor work other than e-mails, they remote into their desktop from their phones.

I'd like to accomplish the opposite when there's a problem with a phone- logmein does this with iPhone, and winmo phones- I just can't find anyone to support 'Android' OS for remote support.

Quite a few folks including me have been looking for the same thing. Winmo had great solutions for this including free ones like http://www.mymobiler.com/

I've just been playing with Alexandre Thiel's androidscreencast again and it's really working well for me right now. Works on mac/pc/linux.
