  I use Team Viewer as well and it works fantastic, but it requires software
installed on the remote end for un-attended access.

My wife uses TeamViewer from her IPod touch and it works well.

Applications

I use an app called Jump. It works reliably and I would easily recommend it.
I connect to a terminal server and work with access several front ends from
my iPhone and iPad.
I can't say this is ideal, the Touchscreen to Windows Mouse UI translation
is clumsy. I don't blame this on Jump, theirs seems a decent implementation.
Screen size is a significant limiting factor on either device. I suppose I
would adapt the use of the screen and layout controls in the Access FE much
differently if I were trying to use it this way on a regular basis.
For access occasionally, quickly looking up information or troubleshooting,
I have to say it is rock solid reliable. Works every time, very speedy and
no bugs.
