If you have ever wanted to control your PC without having to actually be anywhere near it (ie. when watching a movie), you will be delighted to find that Remote Control Collection makes that possible. With Remote Control Collection, you can access and control your Windows machine by using your Blackberry or Android device.

You can give your PC a number of commands via Remote Control Collection, including computer shutdowns, media player control, PowerPoint control, etc. Even if you want to use your Android or Blackberry device as a wireless mouse, you can do that. Using the software, you can use voice commands with your PC wirelessly and even see and control your computer screen in real time right on your Android/Blackberry device.

The program works by setting up a server so that the mobile device and your computer can communicate. Even for the most inexperienced users, setting up the server to allow Remote Control Connections to connect the two together is rather simply. All you need to do is grab your IP address. You can find this by opening Remote Control Server directly after installing it and taking note of the dialog box. This box will show your IP address. From the app, you simply scan the network for the server you just created, and add it via your mobile device. Once you have done this, you're finished!

No doubt you will be having fun and enjoying the utmost control over your PC once you begin using Remote Control Collection with it. To ensure that it will work, keep all of your devices connected to the same network.
