Hi Ami. You're absolutely right. I needed the mouse and keyboard share feature also ... so signed up for the Premium 10 service for only 10 bucks a month. This also turns on a few other cool features like scheduling, shared files space, etc. Bottom line is I haven't seen mouse and keyboard sharing at this price range for an app that does all of these things.... like desktop share, cross platform, etc. plus easy to use.

I can easily suggest you try Yugma FREE. It does most of what you are looking for. It's free. Allows you to invite up to 10 people. Cross platform. Chat, annotation, free telephone bridge. Real time and very fast. Pretty much all you need. I recently saw somewhere that they were coming out with a new whiteboard feature that improves on their annotation tool. Definately worth a look. Oh, it also comes with a really cool widget button.
