I have dabbled with VNC for the Windows CE operating system on the PPC but I don't think this works through the USB port.
My aim is to use the Mac as a lightweight data store and file handler when I travel so I can leave the laptop at home. The Mac is about half the weight of a laptop but does not have the screen or keyboard so I would like the PPC to serve this purpose.
All ideas welcome! |
I don't think there is a direct way to go about controlling your Mac Mini via your Pocket PC via USB since *officially* the Mac doesn't support a Pocket PC out of the box. I would suggest using WiFi, but since you are out and about with the mini I'm not sure if you want to do this. You could take a travel WiFi router or an AirPort Express along with you during your travel and connect with VNC this way. Let me know what you think.
