WYSE Pocket Cloud app for Android

This is not a shameless plug because I have no affiliation with this product...


I just have to rave about WYSE's Pocket Cloud Pro that I use on my EVO 4G running Android.


There are dozens of remote control apps out there, most of which are not free.  WYSE's app is definitely well worth the money.


I primarily use it to RDP to a Windows 2003 server.  From there (and this has never worked with other remote control apps) I remote control any device on our LAN.  A remote control session within a remote control session.  I've used RDP, PCanywhere, and VNC.  In the past, switching between sessions gets pretty messy.  Not with PocketCloud.


Since I have been unable to find any terminal emulation apps for UNIX, Pocket Cloud allows me to run one from a desktop instead.  If you know of any, especially one with wyse60 emulation,  please let me know.


Unlike most others, the user interface is flawless.  Panning is easy and smooth, but that's just the beginning.  The keyboard controls are intuitive and complete.  CTRL, ALT, and functions keys are simple to access as are combinations.


Perhaps the best feature is their Touch Pointer.  It's a transparent circular set of buttons with a traditional pointer arrow emulating a mouse.  The buttons allow you to click, right-click, or bring up the keyboard with ease.  Most importantly, your pointer is in a precise location, rather than have to rely on the touch screen.  With fat fingers like mine, that is a Godsend! 


Just this morning, I used it to free up my boss's secretary's "locked" PC.  It wasn't really locked, but if you read my posts, you know how end users can be!  Regardless, while stuck in traffic, I was able to remote control her UNIX session and free up the so called "lock".  Right from my car!  Please do not tell any law enforcement officials as I've already received 2 tickets for having my phone in hand while driving.  One for plugging in the charger, the other while stopped at a red light!


Last summer, I also was able to push along our paused nightly UNIX backup, which would have prevented the morning crew from working.  It was 6 AM and we were on I-95 in South Carolina on our way to Florida.  They never even knew there was a problem.


Needless to say, I highly, highly, recommend this app.
