1/30 Apple event - desktop access from your iPhone?

Greetings, friend! Looks like this is your first time here. As such, we encourage you to subscribe to our site via RSS feed or by email so you can get updates as they happen. Thanks for stopping by!

A little birdie sent us an email with the following goodie about tomorrows (possible?) Apple event:

Tomorrow (Tuesday), Apple will release more information about the iPhone and its “hidden app”. The hidden app will be an app that allows you to wirelessly access your Apple laptop or desktop at home, however you can only use this with Tiger and an Intel processor.

Interesting. Even if it’s doesn’t pan out, I’m sure that we’ll see some sort of Remote Desktop applet on the iPhone when it ships; it just makes sense to include such functionality.
My guess is that it will involve some sort of dynamic dns service that ties into your iPhone, so as to avoid firewall and IP change issues.

Tivo or Slingbox Mobile, perhaps?

Wouldn't it be nice if the iPhone allowed you to access your media on your home computer remoteley? That's probably what this "hidden app" is all about. Basically, the iphone would be an Apple TV. It allows you to store some media locally and then stream the rest of it. Obviously, this is only practical (for now) over a wifi connection on the phone. EDGE is by far too slow for video. I'm not sure if it could do music, but maybe. That would help to partially solve the lack of storage space on the device itself. Here's hoping...
