There may be sometimes that you want to be able to connect your Android phone to your computer and do everything from there without plugging the wires. Afterall, no one can deny the comfort of typing from a standard computer keyboard. Today I found Remote Desktop in the Android Market. Am still curious why the app is free. It is very simple and easy to use.
All you need is a web browser. You can view, browse, and retrieve contents, including documents, pictures, and video, from your phone wireless. Once you start the app, it gives you the web address and the password to access your phone from a browser.
To the top left in your browser, you have the navigation menu for access to all the folders and files in your phone, from where you can click to access the connect of each folder. The navigation menu are About device, Callogs, Bookmarks, Photos and Files. “About device” contains a list of all the apps installed on your phone and their links to the Android Market, Cyrket, and Appbrain. The remaining menu are self explanatory, as they contain exactly what their names say.
To the lower left corner you have you contacts. When you click on a contact, it pops up with the contact number, the SMS history, and the field for you to enter SMS which you can send from your phone. If you want to be able to send SMS to people from your computer this is perfect for you. The left bottom you have the number of your contacts and the New SMS link which you can use to start a new text messaging.
I found the Files menu to be most useful. It contains “Download selected” which is a list of your download files and folders, “Go to SDCARD” shows the files and apps in your SD Card. And “Upload”, very import, allows your to upload files straight from your computer to your phone without any hassle. Now you don’t have to plug your phone to your computer to upload or download files anymore.
The app concept and implementation is great, the simplicity makes it even better. I still don’t know why is free, I guess the best things in life are still free. It will be great if you can use the app to manage your phone book in the future.
