This app looks nice and clean, I just have 2 questions:
Thanks!
- Am I able to drag and drop a file from my remote PC to my Droid?
- Does this app support audio from the remote PC?
Thanks!

No. And no. :-(
Sound is in the "upcoming features" list, so that will come.
About dragging and dropping; we've been considering several possibilities for file sharing between the device and the PC. Just like the sound issue, this must be carefully done so we don't over-use our bandwidth. I would say we'll have something out before long, but I can't be certain what it will look like just yet.

Wow, thanks for such a fast reply. I will be sure to keep checking in, as soon as sound is available I am in! Thanks again for supporting your product.

maybe, when a file is to be moved from home PC to Droid, have the PC send it to your G-mail, then your phone gets a notification, download from G-mail to phone. That should not use any of your bandwidth, right?
hurry with the sound.:icon_ banana:

Yes, that is right. We'll keep that as an alternative if we can't devise a more seamless method

You raise a very good point. Security is a very important issue for us.
PhoneMyPC normally uses SSL over port 443 to secure your traffic; this encryption is temporarily disabled but will be back very soon.
Our software does it's best job to form a connection directly from your phone to your PC. Failing that, our servers form a hub through which your data passes.
The software on our servers has been designed to minimize the in-computer path of that data. It is picked up from the network card when coming from one of your devices, and dropped right back onto the network card headed for your other device. We do not inspect, cache or store any of the data.
At the same time that we release the much-anticipated remote login feature, we will be re-instating SSL for all communication.
What's more, we have been playing with an "end-to-end" SSL solution whereby your phone is the SSL client and your PC is the server, and our servers only ferry encrypted data that they cannot possibly decrypt. This will provide the best level of security possible.
We will publish a Security White Paper on our website in the near future describing the strengths and weaknesses of our software.

When do you expect to have the audio update rolled out? Will it stream video from my computers screen as well? If so...would it be choppy? What would the fps be?

All I can say is that this program is very nice. I use it all the time now, mainly I like to log into my home machine from work and start torrent TV show downloads....
I also like to use it as a remote control for my TV since my computer is hooked up to my TV. So I don't have to get off the couch anymore. I can just login to the computer and control the mouse/keyboard and open up a video to watch, move to the next video, etc. It's perfect.

Audio is in the queue in this order:
* Bugs
* Keyboard fixes and special keys
* Remote Login
* Audio
As for streaming video, it will depend upon what your connection is like. We do not plan to make PhoneMyPC a general video solution, which would be optimized for the sort of imaging data inherent in video. Rather, PhoneMyPC is, and will continue to be, a PC Remote application. Using it as such, frame-rates for video range anyplace from Poor (on 3G with a slow internet connection on the PC, perhaps 4-5 fps) to great (on WIFI, maybe 24 fps).
However, once the PhoneMyPC team is done with this product (once it has no serious outstanding bugs and all critical features are complete), perhaps we will dedicate some resources to a good video solution. It is very much requested.

Sounds good. I am looking for a solution to view my nfl game broadcasts on my phone. Doesn't sound like this will get it done...but I will definately keep an eye on you guys in the future to see if you come up with anything. Thanks.
