This is not like Remote Desktop. This software will not create its own user session like Remote Desktop, and therefore anyone looking at the computer screen will see everything you do through your device offering no privacy what so ever. In that sense, it is more like VNC.

Fulcrum, Yes, this is the Droid version of Remote Desktop.

We did not have any problems with firewalls, but then it might be based on how the firewall is set up and how the holes are poked and which ports are opened.

This is what their company has to say about firewalls.
Using PhoneMyPC, both your phone and your PC(s) connect to our secure hosted servers via industry leading Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. Communicating through the secure host allows the phone and the PC to communicate, even when both are protected by firewalls and other security technology. This makes PhoneMyPC ideal for corporate and other security conscious users.

I guess this the Droid version of Remote Desktop.

Any firewall issues to be addressed before accessing corporate PCs?

I like the part of working from the beach
