Did you just get to work, only to remember that you had forgotten to turn on BitTorrent before you left? Do you face an evening without your daily fix of pirated blockbusters perfectly legal public domain movies?

PCMobilizr is a remote desktop app that runs on Windows Mobile and Blackberry devices, and lets you operate your desktop PC remotely using your phone’s internet connection.
Your PC’s desktop is scaled down to fit on your phone screen, where it can be operated using the touchscreen or keypad. Response time depends on the speed of your connection, but the app uses some nifty compression tricks to only send the minimum amount of data.
Although there are a few other, free, apps (e.g. VNC) that do the same sort of job, PCMobilizr’s biggest advantage is the ease of setup and the fact that it uses HTTPS to communicate – making it compatible with most corporate and home firewalls, and secure to boot.
PCMobilzr is a 30-day trial download, price TBA.
