I just purchased iTeleport and it works great. thanks!
What about making the iPad "see" local servers in a work environment?
Right on.
If you're into the whole "do stuff remotely" thing, you gotta check out "Air Video" - it plays every video format that I've thrown at it in great quality including stuff that shouldn't work like .AVI, .FLV, .MKV videos from your PC/Mac hard drive over the Wi-Fi to your iPad or iPhone. Probably the most impressive piece of remote technology other than iTeleport I've found so far.
If you have a video that you know is on your computer, but you can't be troubled to convert it and drag it into iTunes or something silly like that, try it.
Of course it works the other way around than iTeleport, but I thought you would get a kick out of that possibility if you're anything like me. Until now, I've only used it on the iPhone, but everyone who have tried it swears by it.
Oh, and welcome to the forum.
