With Jugaari’s iPhone apps JaaduRDP 
and JaaduVNC , your desktop or laptop computer is never too far away. Imagine being able to remotely connect to your computer anywhere and anytime. Have you ever forgotten to send a file or an email only to remember once you arrived at your destination? Well, JaaduRDP and JaaduVNC may be the answer to your needs.
Now for a little bit of background: RDP or Remote Desktop Protocol is the method that is used to remotely control Windows-based computers. When you login using RDP, the computer will log any existing users out and allow the RDPer access the system. VNC or Virtual Network Computer is the protocol that allows you to log in to a remote computer while another user is using the computer and control the screen while they use it…Both methods do similar things but take different approaches.
In any case, Jugaari has given iPhone users two solid applications that they can use to do work while away from their desktop. Both versions (JaaduRPD and JaaduVNC) support encryption for safe access to your computer AND support multi-touch gestures.
I also want to commend Jugaari for having an excellent website and tutorials on how to use their excellent product. If you’re interested in JaaduRPD, here’s the site: http://www.jaadurdp.com/ and if you’re interested in JaaduVNC, the site is: http://www.jaaduvnc.com. I know I had mentioned that JaaduVNC was used to access Mac OS computers, however, you can also install a VNC server application on your PC if you only have JaaduVNC.
The only negative aspect I encountered was that the programs allow you to see what you’re typing in on the password fields..this may be a good or bad thing depending on your personal preference..other than that, I really enjoyed these programs. I tried them over the 3G network and I’m pretty sure they would work over EDGE albeit a bit slower..WiFi is amazing as to be expected…
In any case, visit Jugaari’s websites, they’ve done a great job of explaining the configuration and even gone through great lengths to show users how the programs work. Both programs (JaaduRDP and JaaduVNC) are listed in the AppStore for $24.99 and although it may seem high, to myself and many other travelers, it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind.

I hope you enjoyed my review of JaaduRDP and JaaduVNC.
