UPDATE (03/20/2008):
1. should your WM5+ device lack it, you can download the excellent WM6 RDP client, RDM, from either
HERE (linked from
THIS thread),
HERE or
HERE (linked from
THIS post in
THIS thread). It works wonderfully on all WM5+ Pocket PC’s and Pocket PC phones (Windows Mobile 6 Pro / Classic devices). Note that there’s
a thread at MoDaCo explaining using it on Smartphones (Windows Mobile 6 Standard devices). Also see for example
THIS for a discussion of it.
2. I’ve published two, very thorough reviews in the meantime, both on
SHAPE Services’ two remote desktop access applications.
The first is
TSMobiles: Terminal Service Client for Mobiles (cross-posts:
AximSite,
XDA-Developers - 1,
BrightHand,
HowardForums,
MoDaCo), a Java-based RDP client. It works pretty well on Windows Mobile, both Pocket PC’s and MS Smartphones, under (the latest, 3.1 version of)
Jbed, the best MIDlet manager for Windows Mobile. (Incidentally, this also shows what’s Java is capable of – this MIDlet is REALLY nice and fast, even with the Windows Mobile standards!)
The second is
RDM+ (Cross-posts:
AximSite,
XDA-Developers,
BrightHand,
HowardForums,
MoDaCo), which uses a proprietary protocol (NOT
RDP, unlike the above-mentioned
TSMobiles). It’s highly recommended if you, for example, need MS Smartphone compliance and/or file transfer and/or moderate costs.
