How to control your PC from your mobile with PCMobilizr

PCMobilizr is a suite of
applications aiming to give you full control to your PC remotely from any
Windows Mobile or Blackberry terminal.
It renders your PC screen on your mobile screen with zooming features and
gives you the possibility to control a virtual mouse, with left-click and
right-click.
You can also send in regular text or press function keys (F1,
F2,...)
A great advantage of that service, as said on their website, is the ability
to access the service even if your computer is behind a corporate
proxy/firewall or behind a home router. 
Registration: To use that service, one must first register on the PCMobilizer website and then proceed to sofware installation: - installation of an agent on the PC (windows only) - installation of a mobile client (Windows Mobile or Blackberry)
Test: I have been able to register and install the application
both on my PC and my Samsung I600 (WM6). First impression: there will be
trouble using the network connections :(
Thus I disabled the GPRS/EDGE connection (seems like it won't work anyway since
the service is using ssl, which shall not pass through my firewalled carrier)
and enable Wifi connection.
Then the client would be able to connect to the PC and provide me with some
area of my PC's actual screen.
It seems like it is working but I found out very soon that the virtual mouse
isn't working. Maybe it is a virtual key related problem, but that sort of
things are pretty common under windows and WM. Text sending seems to be ok as
well as function keys.
Finally after some time (not too long though), the mobile application crashed.
My impressions is that the Windows Mobile client is to be finalized; maybe the blackberry version is more stable, I haven't the opportunity to test it. This is however a very interesting service, which deserves to keep a look on it, as soon as it gets more stable.
I might try to make screenshots if I ever find time to.
