Well this is a nice surprise. LogMeIn Ignition has now been made available on the new Kindle Fire. For those of you that might not be familiar with LogMeIn, it is a remote access application that, when set up, can allow you to access to any PC that has the software enabled on it. Giving you full access to control your PC, manage and download files on the go. I have used it many times via my Vibrant to control various aspects of my PC and even move video files to shared folders for streaming purposes. It truly is a very valuable and useful bit of software.
