GoToMyPC App for iPad is Available Now
The app for GoToMyPC for iPad is now available in the app store. It’s a free app that makes it easy to connect remotely to your computer from wherever you happen to be. To use it though, you need to have a GoToMyPC subscription on the computers you want to access. If you’re not a subscriber, click here to try GoToMyPC now free for 30 days.
Personally, I would want this app for my iPad if I had one. I don’t currently. I’ve got a Droid phone that I’m hoping they make a compatible app for at some point, but I haven’t really decided yet if it’s something I would actually work with. It might be that I’m not suited to working on small screens. I’m kind of addicted to my very wide, very tall desktop monitor .
But having remote access to my computers is always nice.

I use this program and I think it’s a good investment when you don’t want to be stuck at your office or on a specific computer to get your work done.
