Top 20Developer’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.

How it works:

Mobile phone apps from any platform can enter. Our experts narrow the field to a Top 20 and then Top 10. We conduct an online vote to determine a 'people's' winner. All 20 semifinalists are invited to demonstrate their apps at the Mobile Apps Showdown stage in the North Hall during CES. The Top 10 appear before a live voting audience at CES to determine an event winner.

When: Saturday, 12:30 p.m., Jan. 9, 2010

Where: Room N255-257, LVCC, North Hall, 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
