So far, this is a Windows-only deal, but there’s no reason why it can’t quickly be done for Macintosh, too – and it clearly foreshadows what’s possible in the future.
cre.ations.net reports, “I want to be able to use my PC from the comfort and safety of my iPhone. I got to thinking about it, and it seemed that modifying VNC was the best option. It already has the remote framebuffer thing down pat and I just had to write a web interface for it so the iPhone could connect up.”
“I decided on TightVNC as my starting point. There was already a built-in HTTP server that I modified heavily. Right now it’s Windows only because that’s all I have to develop on,” cre.ations.net reports.

Is there some unpublished feature of the iPhone that somehow increases personal safety? A force field, or personal bodyguard perhaps? Or maybe the environment surrounding the author’s PC is inherently unsafe? Maybe his PC is installed in a heavily fortified underground bunker defended by vampires wearing body armor and wielding assault rifles.
if you have a soonr account you can access your files and eve skype.
Not being a developer I didn’t really understand the implications of limiting iPhone development to web 2.0, but I am seeing the wisdom in this model. It looks like security was #1 priority in the iPhone software development. RoughlyDrafted has a series of very interesting articles about the iPhone architecture.
It’s like putting a brown paper bag over a beautiful woman’s face as you make sweet love to her. No thanks.

Andy C.: Don’t you think accessing your home PC from your iPhone would be much more secure than accessing it from a random internet cafe PC, which is possibly laden with malware, password sniffers, etc.? Sheesh.
