Remote Desktop Apps
Does anyone know how to set up Remote desktop on the 6700? Or a program that needs to be downloaded in order to do this?

I've run RDP open to the Internet on servers for years. There have been no hacks, I assure you. I've even looked at the network traffic using tools like Ethereal. It's encrypted, it's safe, and for Phoneguy21, it's already built into both the phone and all current versions of Windows.
I've tried it from the phone. It gives you a 320x240 window into a 640x480 desktop and five icons you can click to bounce around between the four corners and the center. If you know what you are looking for, it works fine. The most iritating feature is trying to click on something on a large, expanding start menu that ...

www.orb.com lets you stream all the video, music, pics you have on your PC.
They have a beta add-on for browsers that lets you access all your pc files, but it's not available for phones or pda's yet. I'm sure it will be compatible soon so keep an eye on the site. Read about it here: http://forums.orb.com/community/viewtopic.php ?t=1715
