Able to use PCAnywhere on Q or Blackberry?

[integraoligist]

Hey all,
I'm looking at getting a new phone from VZ but am having problems finding out some info.

What I want to do is... either install PCAnywhere on the phone so that I can connect to my business server and look though my POS software... or if I can not install PCAnywhere on either the Q or Blackberry, would I be able to tap into my Office PC from the phone and goto the desktop then run PCAnywhere from the Office PC using the phone?

And if either of these are possible, which would be the better phone for this type of business application? (even though i'm sure everyone is Q bias )
Thank you all for the help!

Going for the home run --- to my knowledge, PCAnywhere has never ventured into the world of mobile phones. The ONLY option I know of on the Q is VNC, but that's completely unsecured. If I were in your shoes and absolutely had to do this, I would run VirtualPC (free now) on my box running an OS that was a dedicated VNC-Server/PC-anywhere client. VNC into that virtualpc, then run PC-anywhere to the location of your choice. If you step up your game from a SmartPhone to a PocketPC phone, you could always use Remote Desktop (Terminal Server Client) directly to the other box (assuming your POS software is running on an XP/Vista client or Windows NT/2000/2003 Terminal server). My blackberry knowledge is limited to JayZ calling it a blueberry to avoid copyright infringement....

For Moto Q, if the device is windows CE baesd, you can use PCAnywhere Mobile on the symantic site. for the Blackberry you can use RDM+ (great remote desktop program). both cost money though. but work pretty good. good luck

I have not tried pcAnywhere Mobile, but I thought I read somewhere it will only work with Pocket PCs, not smartphones. You should ask symantec to make sure.
