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.

It violates GNU GPL by including Tight decoder extracted from the TightVNC Java Viewer. Don't use or buy that.

Cool! Now I can connect to my job network from my Nexus One!
P.S. The curves of the hands of users has always been the biggest challenge for software producers.

am I missing something? Unable to connect to my laptop, I even disabled windows firewall and any other blocking program. I'm still researching. If I find a fix I will post it.
