[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
Yesterday I started using SOTI Pocket Controller 6.01 Pro in my office...

I'm also using TeamViewer there.. (Teamviewer is a remote control for Desktops.. which doesn't belong here. it's the best program i've used for remote assistance. if anyone's interested in information about it you can PM me).

since lately we've put our business into PPC's in an extremely confident manner.. (that is.. just switching without asking the employees).. we had to make sure they would get all the help they need if they run into problems.

just thought i'd quickreview for anyone who's into a small business around here...

Now.. i'm aware i might repeat some of the things written above.. but i found it to be amazingly useful so i dont' care :)

due to the fact that you can use wifi... and considering that 99% of the PPC's nowadays have a WiFi connection.. you can connect to any of the PPC's in your office and solve problems. we have 18 computers and 12 PPC's in our office and i realized that by using an instant messenger or outlook we can receive requests for fixing PPC problems and use the office's access points to connect, just as teamviewer does with the desktops, to the PPC's. We're avoiding ANY wired connection of the PPC's with the desktops as all PPC's are synced by bluetooth... so everything is pretty much as simple as it can get.

there is another program called MyMobile which a freeware.. while SOTI's software costs 35.95$.. but i found SOTI's Pocket Controller to be much more professional. We are also recording every movement while fixing a problem and are making an archive so that if we run into problems which we can't recall we can just check the archive to see if there's a solution for it.
