Wyse PocketCloud significantly ups the game for remote computer access from your iPhone, adding features that make remote access a real feasible option for the iPhone road warrior. Wyse PocketCloud is compatible with iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch and iPad. Wyse said that PocketCloud users who also purchase the iPad will have universal access across iPod Touch and iPhone at no additional cost. Also, I found it difficult to select text in the browser’s address field when PocketCloud’s keyboard was on the screen. The PocketCloud App for iPad is available for 29.99 from the App Store on iPad. But this is a useful tool if you need it in a pinch. Of course, I’m not talking about accessing these features with any kind of blazing speed, because the browsing is taking place on the server side and is then streamed to your phone. This feature requires the installation of the Wyse PocketCloud Companion on the remote computer, but once you’ve installed it, you can open a web browser within PocketCloud and access Web pages that require Flash, ActiveX, Silverlight, and Java. One additional feature that may appeal to some iPhone and iPod touch users is PocketCloud’s thin-browser feature. I found this to be orders of magnitude easier than typing and scrolling on the remote screen. Once you’ve finished editing, PocketCloud pastes your newly entered text wherever your cursor is on the remote computer. Tapping this keyboard pulls up a text entry window on your iPhone where you can type your text, enjoy the benefits of the iPhone’s built-in text correction, and see all the text that you enter as you type it. When the iPhone’s keyboard appears, you’ll also see a small triangle appear above the keyboard.

The one problem we had was the time being passed by the Wyse app was a different time zone then what we are using.

Everything seems to work well as far as functionality, though it's a bit difficult to work in a VDI session on an iphone. PocketCloud has added a surprisingly simple solution for allowing you to work in word processing or perform any text entry on the remote computer. We have done some testing on the IPAD and iPhone using the Wyse Pocket Cloud application. Using this tool keeps you from having to continuously resize the screen in order to see, select, and open documents or choose menu items. The first is a feature called Touch Pointer, which places a draggable pointer on the screen that lets you easily select, drag, click, double-click, and right-click items on the screen with a high degree of precision even if all the icons on the screen are incredibly small.
