Is there an app to remote desktop into an iPad?

I'm guessing that the answer to this is "No," but I thought I'd ask anyway.


I often share screens with family to help them out on their Macs. But I thought I would ask if there is any kind of remote desktop app for the iPad so that I could see someone's iPad screen remotely. I'm assuming there is not because this would be way beyond a "sandbox" violoation. Nevertheless, I thought I'd ask.


Thanks.

Refreshing this conversation. Does anyone know of a marketplace solution for this yet? Specifically, and app/vendor that allows remote management of iOS devices (similar to how GoToMyPC does with computers)? I've read there are jail brake solutions out there, but ideally I believe most of us prefer a legit solution to help out family members from time to time. ~ thank you.

Thanks for everyone's replies, but I don't see how either Team Viewer or Splashtop is going to do what I'm asking.


Perhaps I didn't explain what I'm wanting to do clearly enough. If I want to provide support to someone who is using an iPad, is there any way that from my Mac I could pull up the screen of someone's iPad via some kind of remote desktop app, go into Settings (or any particular app) on that person's iPad and help that person out?


Again, I assume that this is not possible because of Apple's restrictions, but I thought I'd at least check.

I stand corrected then, It has been a few months since I had access to Logmein.


What version is capable of this?


Edit;

After reviewing their website and tech notes, it appears that you can NOT remote control an Apple iOS device but have the ability through an App to share a web browser and some screen shots, Whiteboard together but NOT true remote control like with other types of desktop and laptop OS.
