Is there an open source working RDP Client for Android?


Are there any fully implemented RDP clients that are open source for android? I have tried a few, and found that they are incomplete/do not work. Here are some that I have tried.

1.) http://code.google.com/p/desktoid/ ... Appears to be abandoned since 2009, and never fully implemented

2.) http://code.google.com/p/connectoid/ .. This is what desktoid is based on, also abandoned since 2009, and not fully implemented. (from what I can tell)

3.) Omindesk ( I cant find the link) ... also not fully implemented.

Has anybody found any working RDP clients for android, or any that are easy to make work? ... or perhaps, some of these do work and i'm just using them incorrectly. I'm very new to android development.

Any advice is much appreciated =). AtDhVaAnNkCsE !!
