when I first got my N900 I was excited to a number of apps I saw on youtube and on these threads. One of the most exciting was the remote desktop capabilities. Instructions seemed pretty straight forward, but when I tried it, it becaume more and more involved. I always had problems which no one else seemed to have, and eventually I gave up (even after a lot of help from people in the maemo community).

So my question is, after more than a year, has there been any progress in this area?

With the growth of these types of programs accross the iphone and android devices, is it any easier than it used to be? For instance, even VNC, which is not that difficult on a computer, is much more difficult to set-up than teamviewer or other such programs. Logmein is another alternative, but is not as quick and others.
