Top 20 Developer’s description: LogMeIn Ignition delivers easy and secure remote access for the iPhone and iPod touch. With one touch from your Apple iPhone or iPod touch, you can connect to your remote office or home computer and work as you’re sitting in front of it. LogMeIn Ignition connects to desktops and laptops running LogMeIn Pro, LogMeIn IT Reach, or LogMeIn Free, and can be used to control Windows PCs and Mac OS computers. Key features include remote control, saved passwords, touch-screen navigation, and full keyboard and computer-specific option settings such as screen zooming.

Pros: One of the easiest ways to take control of a remote desktop from your phone. Easy setup. Can access stored passwords on remote machine.

Cons: Steep price, especially considering the PC app is free with the option of adding on premium services. Your desktop can look awfully crowded on an iPhone screen. You’ll want to use landscape orientation.

MOBILE APPS SHOWDOWN

The Mobile Apps Showdown is a fast-paced contest where you're asked to weigh in on the apps you think have what it takes to make it. For the months leading up to the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2012) we'll be presenting the contestants to you. You can try them, watch demos, make your feelings known, and ultimately vote on a winner. We're platform agnostic, so if it's mobile it's in the competition.

The top ten apps will join us at CES 2012 for an action packed event hosted by Jon Hein and Gary Dell'Abate from the Howard Stern Show.
