Beta Beat: LogMeIn Pro2 for Macintosh now in free public beta

LogMeIn, providers of the LogMeIn service for remote control of computers, has opened a public beta of LogMeIn Pro2 for Mac. The company currently provides LogMeIn Free for Mac, as well as LogMeIn Ignition for iPhone [US$29.99, iTunes Link], allowing Mac and iPhone users the ability to securely control remote Macs and PCs from their Apple devices.

LogMeIn Pro2 will be similar in functionality to the existing Windows version. Through the service and software, people can connect to a Mac from a Mac or Windows machine, control it, print documents, and share and transfer files.

Registration is required in order to download the software and set up a remote session on the service, and the developer would like feedback from beta participants. Several beta releases are expected, and registered users will be notified of code updates.

At this time, no pricing is available for the service. The Windows version currently costs US$65 per year, and the Mac beta version is available for free.

Still no remote sound (was lacking in the free version but came on the paid pc version) - so hopefully they will add it in one of the future betas.

Also logmein is great when paired with the iphone app - their interface is very intuitive (moving the screen behind the cursor) -- seems weird at first, but after you get used to it, its far more efficient than moving the cursor about the (small) screen.

LogMeIn's free version is great to use in a pinch. I don't think the upgraded features in the paid version are worth the price though.
