LogMeIn Says “Me Too”, Enters Beta With Ignition
Some pretty desirable apps are on their way soon with all of these beta periods. Yesterday, Sling Media thought they’d take the sly route with their SlingPlayer Mobile app and urge their beta testers not to say anything about them entering a private beta phase(you guys really need to put an NDA on these things if you want to ensure maximum privacy). Now, LogMeIn has gone into beta with their Ignition app, and the wraps came off just a bit easier.
The beta site doesn’t actually allow you to do anything – it just gives you instructions on how to set your app up to work with your LogMeIn account – but users who were signed up should have received a direct download link within their email (you can also find the app for download in the market). Our tipster James has already played with the app on perhaps the weakest device on the market – the T-Mobile G1 – and he assures us that it’s smooth and feels like it’s ready for prime time. Ignition will allow you to control your computer and access your files remotely. I’m excited to hear that we’re inching toward a first release as LogMeIn has been a life saver for me in countless situations (I’d name them, but I don’t think your heart can handle it).
[Thanks James, and everyone else who sent this in!]
