VNC on the Palm Pre lets you look at your desktop from afar, but not touch it

It didn't take long for the iPhone's release for it to get a VNC client enabling remote desktop access. No surprise, then, that it's taken even less time for Palm's Pre to get similar functionality -- well, the beginnings of similar functionality, anyway. As the thrilling video after the break proves, it's possible to get today's hottest smartphone to connect to a VNC server, but rather sadly keyboard and mouse support aren't there yet. So, while you can watch all those wonderful command prompts and other windows majestically move across the screen, you can't touch a single one. Surely that'll be fixed soon, but will it be soon enough?

Sooooooooo bored of this tit for tat crap on here. As soon as a Pre thing comes up its Apple people typing crap and the same for Apple stuff, Apple haters typing rubbish. We get it you don't like each other !

Sorry but the Pre is where things are headed - you can smell it in the air. iPhone 3G S: oooh a shiny compass. Zzzzz... and no multitasking.

Yes, because the 2 seconds it takes to task switch is so cumbersome. NOT.
