Controlling my PC through my Phone (HTC Wildfire).

As the title says, I'm wondering if this is possible with any apps.

It would mainly to be used to change music and put on a new film when I can't be bothered getting up from the couch... Very lazy, and I could just buy a wireless mouse but thought this was worth a try first.

My computer is wired to my router, it doesn't have a wireless card. Help me out!

You're probably right krooton, just fancied a play with gadgets really.

Tried Gmote, it's not bad but not quite what I'm looking for. Will check out Android VNC, that sounds better, thanks Robbie. Edit - Do you have a link? There seems to be quite a few, but none called "Android VNC" unless I'm being daft...

You did try the touchpad yeh? Not just the default "remote" view

Ooooooh! Didn't see that, cheers. It's magic!

Mmm, I like the idea of a VNC but the one Robbie suggested is very very slow (using TightVNC on my PC) and totally messed up dual screens. Got no image on my TV when connected (I watch a lot of things on the telly).

PC monitor lite

Has that got Winamp/VLC support? That's really the main thing I'm looking for. Spotify support would also be great but imagine I may be asking a bit to much.

Oooh, Unified Remote looks pretty good. Think that'll be the one! Cheers.

After playing around with them, Unified Remote is probably the best all purpose one. However, I like Gmote as you can stream from your computer to your phone. Useful for me (listening to music on the john, and such like

).
Cheers for the help chaps.
