GoToMyPC Bundled on Samsung i700 Pocket PC Phone Edition
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 02:00 PM
"Mobile professionals looking for the ultimate mobility solution, can now access their entire desktop PC using Samsung's SPH-i700 Microsoft(R) Windows Mobile(TM) Pocket PC Phone with Citrix(R) GoToMyPC(R) from Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS). Available through Verizon Wireless, the combination of the i700 and GoToMyPC allows users to view and control their entire PC desktop, unlike other handheld remote solutions that offer only limited access to calendar and e-mail."
At first I thought this was going to be in ROM on a new version of the i700, but it sounds like they're simply adding the GoToMyPC link to the Verizon start page. I don't think this is worthy of a press release, but the GoToMyPC service is quite interesting, especially at the speeds that 1xRTT offers. I've been testing it on WiFi and it's very fast, but I shudder to think what it would be like over GPRS. :worried:
