Q: What?
A: PCNow service from WebEx. WebEx is a company of network giant Cisco.
Q: What can you do with PCNow?
A: PCNow will enable iPhone users to access desktop PC files, desktop search tools, Outlook corporate mail, contacts and appointments from their handsets via the phone's Safari browser, according to the firm.
Q: What is so special?
A: You don't have to ask your system administrator to open firewall rules for you. All you need is internet access from your home or work PC. Everything is parsed on port 80 or 443, which are the http and https defaults.

A: "We are introducing changes so that users can access emails as well as contacts, appointments and desktop PC files whilst on the move, via our secure MediaTone network." quoted WebEx's European vice president, Bert van der Zwan.

A: Around 9.95euro a month for 1 PC. There is a 30 free trial available here

Hi,
Just tried the free trial from a normal PC (don't have an iPhone yet) to take over my other "remote" PC. Everything is working fine. didn't had to change firewall. I am also interested in iPhone experiences working on the move while remote using your office PC. especially the skype function, does it work wel???

Hi zoverlord,
Does MyToGo provide a stable voip signal on my mobile? I want to have a uninterrupted conversation like a normal mobile phonecall. Most of the solutions today are very dependent on your carriers bandwidth.
cheers,
