what is the best remote desktop app out here? im using splashtop for the ipad but its glitchy. help plz.
 
I use TeamViewer, which is free for personal use and works with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Ubuntu, iPhone, iPad, etc. It's very secure and quite simple to set up and use (no messing around with ports), which comes in handy if providing remote support to those who aren't very computer literate. You can talk them through the setup on their end and be connected to them in less than a minute. I prefer it over LogMeIn because it includes free file transfers between computers, a feature I use frequently.
 
Above and beyond, far ahead, my absolute favorite remote app is LogMeIn. It has the easiest UI on the iPad, and the cleanest web interface I know of, too. Love it!
