TeamViewer Remote Access From Your iPhone

TeamViewer GmbH, a leading provider of solutions for online communication and collaboration, has just released TeamViewer and TeamViewer Pro, iPhone applications making mobile connectivity more flexible than ever before. Designed for iPhone or iPod touch, from versions 2.2.1 and newer, the innovative TeamViewer applications access or control remote computers located anywhere in the world.

Marking their commitment to easy, convenient and accessible solutions, TeamViewer is available at no cost for non-commercial use. For IT supporters looking to extend their service offering, TeamViewer Pro is offered at a one-time fee of $99.99. Both user-friendly applications enable the fast and secure control of Windows or Mac computers from iPhones or iPod touch.

With the new TeamViewer applications, users simply create a partner list, storing the connection information of servers, remote computers or home PCs for quick mobile connection with a single click. Similar to the standard TeamViewer partner list the new application can store contacts in groups, for easy organization and quick recall.

Designed for individuals or supporters on-the-go, TeamViewer and TeamViewer Pro allow users complete access, including remote reboot, to their unattended home PC or remote work station from their iPhone or iPod touch. For professionals, this enhances the service provided, as they are now able to offer efficient and effective mobile remote support when traveling or away from a workstation.

TeamViewer offers a number of features with the iPhone and iPod touch software. Full screen control, disable remote input, and a number of settings are available to optimize connectivity. Like all iPhone or iPod applications, remote control only works in the direction of the computer, and not from the computer to the iPhone or iPod.

Maintaining their commitment to security, TeamViewer and TeamViewer Pro are encrypted with AES 256 bit encoding preserving computer security already in place. In addition, TeamViewer works behind all firewalls, eliminating user reconfiguration.

"With iPhones attracting tens of millions of customers internationally, our new application will enable connectivity all over the world," begins Holger Felgner, Product Manager of TeamViewer GmbH. "For our non-commercial users, we are pleased to maintain our commitment to software, while TeamViewer Pro is accessibly priced to provide IT supporters with new and more flexible service options. As an increasing number of people rely on iPhones for both business and personal communication, our new applications ensure these people are able to quickly and securely access information and lend support from their portable iPhone or iPod touch, wherever they may be."
