The RealVNC’s “Personal Edition” desktop software costs $30, which sounds astounding high, considering there is a free version of the RealVNC software for Windows. Despite the price the version lacks several nifty features, never mind the Android viewer client doesn’t support most of them.
This app is probably a must-have if your workplace uses VNC Enterprise. However, RealVNC desktop software isn’t OS X-friendly, unless you’re using VNC Enterprise, so you would have to use an alternative VNC server (OS X’s built-in Remote Desktop) for the RealVNC Android viewer to work with your Apple machine.
Setup instructions for RealVNC:
Step 1: Download VNC Viewer from the Android Market
Step 2: If the computer you want to control is running Mac OS X 10.4 or later, enable Apple Remote Desktop/Remote Management. If not, install and start a VNC-compatible Server
Step 3: If you are connecting over the Internet (via 3G), configure firewalls and routers protecting the computer to allow and forward network communications to it. Start with www.realvnc.com/products/android/1.0. If you are connecting over a Wi-Fi-enabled private network (LAN or VPN), you should be able to connect without further configuration.
Step 4: Find out the network address of the computer. If connecting over the Internet, it will be that of a router. You will also need a port number if the VNC-compatible Server is listening on a port other than the default for VNC, 5900 (not necessary for Apple Remote Desktop/Remote Management).
Step 5: Start VNC Viewer, identify the computer you want to control, and connect
Viola! Your are up and running!
