Windows Mobile devices have had “Terminal Services”, which is like remote desktop, for a long time, but lately, for some reason, mobile phone operators have removed this functionality from devices. The Touch Diamond and Pro bring it back.

Imagine being able to control your home computer from your phone while on the go to retrieve a file or check your mail. Or, shown here, you could use your phone to control Windows Media Player while you have company at your house. As you can see, the desktop actually scales to the 480×640 resolution, so you don’t need to scroll a lot to see the window contents.

The iPhone isn’t the only device that has a custom built YouTube application: so does the Touch Diamond. It has similar functionality to that of the iPhone app in that it lets you search, view the rating and number of views, plus bookmark favorite videos. There’s also a screen that lets you choose the quality so that if you’re using a slow connection, you can still see the streaming video. The design of the application, though looking nothing like the rest of Windows Mobile, has a clean, attractive design.
