It looks to me like Apple has concluded that the antenna issue is a minor inconvenience that does not need to be fixed. After all, iPhone 4 sales have been excellent. My guess is that the iPhone 4 antenna fix will be the iPhone 5.
LogMeIn Ignition
LogMeIn Ignition is very popular but is $30
But it works great from what I read from the reviews. If you want the best, then this app is for you

If you're in IT, its also a lifesaver. LogMeIn is much easier to deploy than VNC, especially if you're dealing with multiple locations. You just throw all the computers into one account, label them correctly, and you're good to go.
The "problem" I have run into with LogMeIn is that it's all Internet based. By that, when at home on one's home network one still has to go through the Internet to access one's MAC/PC. That in turn slows down the process a bit.
But, I gotta say, it does work and works well. The mouse movement is great, etc. I just wish they would allow one to connect locally.
I tried Mocha VNC (internally) yesterday and it flies, but the UI and mouse movement just isn't as good as LogMeIn.
The term you should be searching for is Remote Desktop:

Since it appears you may not be familiar with the term, your best bet would be Logmein or Teamviewer, as most of the other apps would require you to know something about port forwarding and external and internal IP addresses.
