LogMeIn offers browser plug-in: control a PC or Mac with a Nokia Internet Tablet
I really need to start using production software. Believe me, I have loads of fun using beta applications, but I’m supposed to be doing this for a living, so it really shouldn’t be fun to do, right? Oh heck, a little more fun isn’t going to harm anyone, so let me just share this and we can all have fun together. I mentioned LogMeIn earlier today when I noticed that the pre-beta Live Mesh client for Mac didn’t yet have the remote desktop functions working. Let’s circle back to LogMeIn for a sec, or rather to the LogMeIn Labs, where I see a beta plugin for Nokia Internet Tablets.
Hitting this link on your Nokia N800 or N810 will install the browser plugin that enables remote access to your PCs and Macs running the LogMeIn service. You’ll need to restart your N8×0 browser and also ensure that you have the plug-in enabled, but if you do that and click your heels three times, you should be able to remote in to your other clients running the free LogMeIn service. Ok, the heel-clicking is optional, but it adds to the fun, in my opinion. Either way, this sounds like a great use for that 800 x 480 display on the pocketable little tablet, no? I’ll have to try this on the Diablo build of an N800… once I get the battery charged. Seems like the kids were having a little fun too because I always keep the N800 charged. Hmm….

You may want to go back to Chinook.
Diablo kills the battery on the n800. Every morning, since flashing, I wake up to a dead tablet. I’m going to be blowing it back to Chinook this evening.
Diablo is great for browsing, it really speeds up flash. But, if a tablet can’t hold a charge, it’s not worth much.
Or control a PC with a Wifi connected Axim!
I just got that working this weekend.
My wife was unimpressed.
It also installed a browser plug in for my Axim, and was quick and easy.
this is fantastic news! I can finally make some real use of my 810.
i am using the plugin right now and it works very well – much faster than i expected. The only problem i have found so far is that the function key doesnt seem to shift to the ‘blue key’ settings.
What’s the big deal? The N800 has had a remote desktop client for a while now.
I used to control my PS3 running ubuntu with it.
Is Logmein that much better than VNC?
