Today, TUAW posted an article about LogMeIn’s acceptance of applications for the private beta of LogMeIn Ignition for iPhone/iPod touch, the mobile client version of the remote control platform. With a final release planned for the end of 
the year, the client will allow full remote control of any computer in your list, including screen blanking and zoom/pan options.
TUAW suggests that while there are great IT admin tools for other mobile platforms (and some promising but never-completed iPhone tools), the iPhone admin explosion hasn’t quite arrived yet. LogMeIn is definitely an industrial-strength player and the presence of the client will help to legitimize the iPhone and iPod touch as an enterprise device.

Of course, for those of us who have a jailbroken iPhone, this sort of functionality has been around for a long time. I find it rather frustrating how little the App Store has to offer when compared to the products created by individuals in the jailbreaking community. Most of the apps in the store that are truly interesting have more functional and free counterparts in the app repos for users with jailbroken iPhones. Oh Apple, when will you realize that the way you are running the App Store turns off so many talented developers?
