It's almost impossible to count all use cases for VNC - Virtual Network Computing, a protocol to screen content over a network. To cite a few: server maintenance, remote control of PCs at home or even just to save a few steps.
There are some apps for Android phones, too and I will introduce you to one of them now: Remote VNC.
The developer is offering two versions: a free 'Remote VNC Lite' and 'Remote VNC Pro'.
You can see a couple of differences in the detail: for example, the Pro version allows you to use the trackball as a mouse, have copy and paste between your phone and the remote screen and makes it possible to zoom the screen content.
Having tested the app with Windows, Linux and Mac OS X machines, I can congratulate the developers and thank him for a stable, affordable software.
Because of the many additional features, I recommend the purchase of Remote VNC Pro for US$ 3.98 from the Android Market.
A few days ago I happened to discover a very handy application that can manage the installed apps using labels.
Apps Organizer offers a handful of pre-configured labels that can be placed on any home screen. Other Apps can easily be inserted into existing labels. As well as new labels with own criteria can be created.
I particularly like the fact that my home screen is much more tidy with Apps Organizer.
Not to forget, Apps Organizer is available for free at Android Market.
Recently, I have no longer been using the default browser, which is shipped with Android, but the Dolphin Browser. Why?
Dolphin offers the following features that are missing the original browser:
- Gesture Control
- Tabbed Browsing
- Select text
- Themes
- Multi-Touch (for some themes)
The gesture control makes use of the browser very pleasant. For many standard commands gestures can be used.
Also the speed is above that of the standard browser.
Furthermore the browser offers a couple of other nice features like the read-it-later option, which allows short time bookmarking of interesting pages.
The Dolphin Browser can be integrated easily into Android and is available for free at the Android Market.
The only thing that bothers me is that mutli-touch is not enabled by default.
