Logmein no longer free

So, teamviewer users...how many pc's are you remoting into? How many other people, can remote into those pc's at the same time as you? If you are talking about the free teamviewer app, then that's fine. I'm not talking about that here.

I have 5 remotes now. Also no idea about other people remoting - this is not a terminal server access, you see and do what the user would do. I can't see what more users would benefit from.
I don't understand the last two sentences though, I thought we were rooting for precisely the free variant.

Just got a notice on my Logmein Central account that the droid/iphone app is now available and free. Tried it out last night, and it works great. Not that I really care that much about remoting from a phone, but I suppose the capability is nice.

I prefer team viewer to logmein. Logmein is a company that needs funds to bring in new tech for its users. So I think it's very natural for logmein to charge for their product.

I still prefer Logmein (we have a paid account at work) but Remote Utilities has been proving to be a good alternative.

It's a little clunkier in terms of setting up a new computer. It works, and it's free and there's an iOS and Android app to log into remote hosts.
