You left out one step; you also have to run a TeamViewer server application on your PC. There is a Ubuntu/Linux version of it available for download on the TeamViewer website so you probably would be ok. Then again, you may not be, depending upon how the TeamViewer application interacts with Linux and EMC2. Only testing can tell us for sure. If anyone tries this (not me, no Android or IOS phone in hand or in my spending plan) please let us know how it goes. On the whole, this sounds no different from using VLC technology, but in the case of these phones/tablets using TeamViewer has the advantage of built-in support for Android/IOS gestures such as the 'two-finger pinch".
