There's certainly some neat stuff here! Is there a VNC client for the iPhone that you like? (Wait is there even on in the app store?) Hopefully, I'll have an iPhone is a few months, and I'd definitely make use of a few of these, thanks!

@cycomachead: I love Jaadu VNC. It is not cheap, but extremely powerful, does not require custom software on the Mac to be controlled and it handles screen refreshes and zooming extremely well. Even when remote controlling my workstation (a Mac Pro with two 30" displays, so, a lot of pixels), the updates are smooth, even via 3G. Since the last update, it does even support international keyboard layouts. Very nice.

I use mocha VNC regulary, and it works well for me.
Has a lot of options, but is still easy to use.

It is also a lot less expensive than Vaadu, but I haven't tested that one so I can't tell you if the price-difference is worth it.
There is a lite version of mocha VNC, so you can test it before buying it.

I have a tool for iOS that can test IMAP, SMTP, POP3 and server reachability. Very easy to use and gives that verbose error message from the server that helps solving the problem.
