    Cheers

    i just looked into this a couple days ago.

    as said, you have to have remote access to a regular computer.

    you'll need to go to logmein.com and set up an account there. you'll also need to download the logmein app from the app store ($30 bucks) in order to access your computer from your ipad.

    downfalls that im aware of:

    *you may experience lag which can be disruptive enough to time you out
    *you wont hear any sound

    i went through this process and was testing it out on my ipod touch. it was kinda cool but im not sure its worth the trouble. it may be a lot better on the ipad tho.

    not really ipad talk ... but what's the deal with touch computer screens?? what a lame idea....how do you convince someone that moving your arm all around a screen is better than flicking your wrist with your mouse while covering the same ground...confusing
