This is a guest post by iRoc, and today he is going to fill you in on one of his most favorite apps : Jaadu! ![]()
What exactly is Jaadu and why would I need it, You might ask. Well, let’s say you are at work and you need a file, but that file is on your computer at home. You could call home and try to talk someone through navigating to the file and sending it to you. Oh, but that almost always is a head ache at best. Wouldn’t be great if you could just get in touch with the Enterprise , and teleport back home and get the file? No Jaadu is not about to save you thousands on travel expenses or make your daily commute magically disappear. Though Jaadu was formerly known as Teleport, and it’s the next best thing to a real deal teleporter.
Jaddu will allow you to remotely access any of your computers anytime you want or need right from your iPhone. You will have 100% control over your distant computer, or the one that’s just out of arms reach if you want to roll that way. 100%? That’s right 100%!
Your desktop even shows on the iPhone screen. So you can navigate to the necessary file and send it to yourself via email, instant messenger, any way that you could send that file if you were sitting right there at your computer normally, and everyone is happy and you are the big hero of the day in your boss’s eye.
Here’s how I used it last. I was at the store and I saw a DVD for a movie I had been meaning to download and watch, but always seemed to forget when I was at my computer. So I reached in my pocket got out my iPhone called Scotty and said, “Scotty one for transport.” N o not really. I opened Jaddu selected my laptop at home. Opened Firefox, went to mininova.org and searched for the movie. Once I found it I started the download. I could even check back in periodically to see how the download was coming along. Anything you can do sitting at your computer with your keyboard and mouse you can do on the screen of your iPhone with Jaadu.
