LogMeIn vs Splashtop for Remote Computer Access with the iPad

LogMeIn if a free app for the iPad.  The initial problem that I had was that I received an error indicating the the date and time zone were not set correctly.  It still gives me that error when attempting to connect to the Mac laptop.  However, I was able to connect with the computer in my university office. Hmmm.  Will try to Windows laptop next. LogMeIn is the same company that created one of my favorite screen-sharing apps, Join.me.

LogMeIn is similar to Splashtop in that I can control a remote computer with the iPad.  I find that it is easier to control the movement when using Splashtop.  I am interested in hearing from others about apps they have used for screen sharing that work with both the iPad and a Windows PC or Mac.

LogMeIn

Martha sent an article about LogMeIn.  LogMeIn is the parent company of Join.Me - the app I use to work on the computer remotely with students.  LogMeIn allows for remote access of all of your computers.  It is free and works on the Mac and PC.  I don't often have two computers on at the same time, with the exception of the laptop and iPad, although some might question that assertion.  Dropbox has probably been the main reason that I don't use LogMeIn anymore.  I would never have any files in DropBox that reveal any confidential information.  Most of the files relate to meeting minutes or course lessons. Anyway, LogMeIn is a very nice app if you need a file that is stored on a remote computer..
