droid VNC Server Review

If you are like me, you are often in situations where you can't use your phone openly but still need to do something, whether its sending a quick text message or email, the ability to control your phone through a computer is something that can be extremely helpful. droid VNC Server (Root Required) by Jose Pereira is a fantastic app for doing just this. It is simple to use and I only ran into 1 issue, which I can elaborate on later. But that aside, once you install this app on your phone you can set up a password to access and control your device. It makes it easy to start the server, on the main page, you see to large buttons, Start Server and Stop Server, which adds to the ease of this app. But before you can control your device, you need to download a VNC viewer, which are easy to come by and are usually free. Now to the negative, now unfortunately I'm not sure if this is a network issue or an app issue, but nonetheless, its there, the updating of the screens are extremely laggy, with that said, for a quick text or email, it works fine and has lots of potential. With all that said, this app if fun to mess around with, but when the day is over, is nothing compared to a wired connection using the Android SDK.
