What is difference between 3 apps

I downloaded Connect My Mac for iPod Touch/iPhone. I like it very much. I almost bought it, but then I saw that you have another program called Connect Desktop that does the same thing. And then I see a third application called iRemote Desktop. All of these applications say they will connect to Mac and PC. Which one should I buy? What I want to do is to see the screens on my two Mac and two Windows computers, and I want to be able to control them remotely from my iPod Touch (3rd generation). Thank you for your help.

iRemote Desktop Free is using Remote Desktop Protocol from Microsoft and can only connect with Windows (Windows Home version excluded). It's better for Windows if you are using windows professional or higher. It does not work for Mac.

Connect My Mac is using VNC protocol and works for both Mac and Windows. Note it could be slower than RDP when connecting to Windows.
