greatest vnc client ever made, tainted with gmail
I have to say iTeleport for iPad has significantly made my life easier for quite some time now. The main feature that has done this for me is the superb scrolling. iTeleport might be using some crazy voodoo that seems to lessen latency, or at least it seems, and its like night and day to someone like me who uses vnc constantly. Basically all vnc clients (accept for one or two in Linux) have horribly choppy scrolling which makes many many functions almost unusable. Especially when you are using creative apps like photoshop (gimp and inkscape in my case), or music apps like ableton or renoise… lag and choppiness makes vnc almost useless in those cases. Lag and choppiness is not an issue for me when using iTeleport. The connection settings are the same in other vnc apps vs iTeleport and iTeleport always runs smoother. Also browsing webpages with other vnc clients is horrible. A simple 2 finger swipe down or mouse scroll might leave you almost anywhere in the page. This problem also does not happen with iTeleport.
I do have one major issue though with iTeleport, and that is integrating gmail accounts with iTeleportConnect. Honestly it has been one of the main things holding me back from buying iTeleport apart from the price in the past. I might be one of the few out there that does not want gmail all over my data, but I really really dont want to associate gmail with anything other than my email. I would much rather use my private servers email for this function. I might be wearing a tin foil hat, but I wont use this feature with gmail exclusively as my only connection/data transfer option.
Also, I only really connect to linux servers. I would very much appreciate these added features that have been made available to windows and mac hosts, available to my linux servers. But again if these added features are tied into a specific email provider (gmail), its useless. What about dropbox or box? There are more than a few other ways to move this data between devices. Give me other options and I might be for likely to use them. Just a thought. Also google is not bulletproof, it seems like a bad idea to only use google. If google has issues then iTeleportConnect could be unusable… at least have a fallback service option. If I didnt love how well iTeleport handled as a general vnc client, I might loose 2 stars for this expensive problem.
I would like to see terminal functions in the future added to iTeleport, in similar ways available with "remote desktop - vnc" or most other free vnc clients.
As far as having a solid reliable and smooth vnc app, iTeleport is the app I always use on my iPad and now my mac. I have used more than a few paid and free vnc apps and iTeleport is the best. Thanks for having mostly awesome updates.
