Mocha VNC will do the job too

you need to set up a vnc server on your mac, and if you want to access it from outside of the network you will need to set up port forwarding on your router also.

Re: Whats this App called?

Lots of VNC and RDP apps now but i have never heard of an official apple one, i dont think they do one. But there is LogMeIn - and i think it's been featured on an iPhone advert, could it be that?

There is also Wyse PocketCloud, which is rather expensive.

I'm now using RemoteTap, much more Mac-like than Mocha VNC IMO. Has support for Spaces, switching between running apps, audio streaming, wake on lan, sleep, etc.
