Description:
I focused for a long time on creating a new free program for Windows (Mobile 2003). This program is intended for controling remotely a PC with the help of a device like Smartphones, PCs or Pocket PCs. It's source is also available and any developper could help!
Pocket Control PC is divided in two programs, both essential for it to work. One program is called the client and the other the host. The host program is Pocket Control PC - PC and always runs on a PC. The client one is Pocket Control PC - NetCF which runs on Smartphones 2003, Pocket PCs 2003 and PCs. When both programs are run and connected, the remote user can send commands to the PC which are then executed. The current commands supported pertain to the following:
> Mouse and Scroll commands: The remote user is able to control the PC's mouse (and mouse's vertical scroll).
> Keyboard commands: The remote user is able to control the PC's keyboard. All usual keys are supported. Current keyboard layout is US (extended - with media/browser/application keys e.g. next/previous track). The remote user can normally change languages in Windows.
> Input text & keystrokes: The remote user can input text and keystrokes for the PC.
> Input Mouse location: The remote user can input coordinates to move the PC's mouse.
For the connection between the device and the PC, the TCP/IP protocol is used. Microsoft's Activesync connection is adequate (through many ways like cable, bluetooth, network etc). You can find more info in the programs' readmes.
Update to 1.1:
After some work, I've made some new versions for the programs of Pocket Control PC. Pocket Control PC - PC is now v1.1 and has the following new features: You can configure the IP address to listen to. Also, there's a new option to ensure an active connection. Moreover, macros are implemented.
For Pocket Conrol PC - Smartphone, there is a new name: Pocket Control PC - NetCF. This is because it can now be supported by devices running .NET Compact Framework. That is: Smartphones 2003, Pocket PCs 2003 and PCs (fully tested on Smartphones only. If you find an error on Pocket PCs or on PCs, please e-mail me). New main features: Some comforts for better keyboard usage. Also, macros are implemented. Furthermore, options can now be saved. Moreover, Quick Mouse Mode was added to Mouse Mode. There's also an Input Mouse Position action. Finally, there are also options for configuring the IP to connect to as well as for keeping an active connection.

Attention:
The current version has been fully tested only on smartphones. Though it's supported by Pocket PCs 2003, I haven't yet fully tested it on Pocket PCs 2003. If anyone could test it, please do and post your results here or email them to me.
