VNC et al

Installed TightVNC server on Media Center in hopes that iPhone with VNC client (Mocha VNC) can serve as remote control for Vista Media Center. Alas when Media Center starts in full screen mode the screen in iPhone goes black. So you kinda can blind-control MC, but precision is really bad and the whole experience is very frustraiting. I keep selecting the wrong menu and have to switch to keyboard to press Backspace button, as this is the easiest way to go back.

Let's hope someone will figure it out and release a reasonably priced piece of software in AppStore.

The rest of Mocha VNC works relatively OK. It crashed several times for no apparent reason. But after restart it connects fast and works fine.
