Bellevue, WA. -- Today, Laplink announced the official release of the fifth generation of Laplink Everywhere - the award-winning remote access solution for PC owners who want anytime, anywhere, any device access to their PCs. With this new release, remote access is possible from a PC, Mac, mobile phone, or even a Wii! Many devices can now be used to access, search, and send any file from a PC at no cost – from anywhere.

Just like GoToMyPC® and LogMeIn®, Laplink Everywhere provides web-based remote control of a PC. However, Laplink provides more accessibility and more functionality. Work on your office PC from home – or anywhere else in the world – with complete access to your files, programs, and network. It’s fast, easy, and safe.

Unlike other products, Laplink Everywhere includes a free Toolbar that integrates with Internet Explorer. The Laplink Toolbar gives users more flexibility and choice with simple and secure one-click remote access to their PCs. You don’t need to launch a program, navigate a website, or go through a complicated or expensive setup. Users can remotely search and send, transfer files, launch full remote control, access Outlook emails and calendars, and much more with just one click! It’s easy to set up and easy to use.

"There are many PC-based remote control products available, but only Laplink Everywhere provides simple one-click access," explained Thomas Koll, Laplink’s CEO. "Plus, only Laplink offers mobile access for searching a PC remotely – finding, viewing, and even sending files. We think this sets Laplink Everywhere apart as the remote access solution of choice for mobile users."

For even easier mobile access, Laplink has created a free application for Windows Mobile users, providing one-click remote access to PCs. This free application is now available to download at www.laplink.com/lle5/download.html.

"E-mail on a smartphone is mainstream," continued Koll. "Users want more. It is a natural next step to search an entire PC from the phone – to find old mail, filed mail, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, whatever – and open or email those files to someone else from a phone. That is the mobile remote access and functionality we provide."

Laplink has long been a leader in the remote access category, with more than 25 years of experience in helping users access their PCs remotely.

"In the past, we have talked about leaving your PC at home or at the office," added Koll. "But it's been hard. Even with smartphones providing email and web access, there's been a gap. Now, leaving the PC behind is a reality. All you need is your phone and Laplink Everywhere."

Laplink Everywhere key features:

• One-Click Remote Access: Remote Desktop Control, Remote Access to Outlook, Remote File Transfer and Synchronization, and more with only one click.
