Someone has converted the TightVNC server's HTTP interface to use AJAX, so you can control a PC without installing any software on the 770.

Tapping produces a spread of popup buttons to perform functions like right-click, double-click, drag, drop, scroll, etc.

It seemed to work best wth minimo. Opera produced the popup in the wrong place sometimes. It was sluggish to use, but I'm using a BT connection (thanks to those helpful posts about setting up PAN). I normally use the usual VNC client on Wifi.

I suspect it would still be slower even on the same connection, so I doubt that it'll replace the VNC client, but I thought it was at least an interesting idea.

Get it here:

Now I've finished, I'll mention the one thing I held off saying until now - this was actually intended for the iPhone! So maybe it's the first example of iPhone-related developments being useful on other portable devices.
