QuoteNTAuthority a member of HaXNetwork, has successfully created a patch that works, here is a quote from his Read Me.

    As with the original application, this requires Windows 7 (any version)
    and a WLAN card in your computer for the initial pairing. Also, PS3
    firmware 3.30+ is required to use PC Remote Play.

    As it is compiled with Visual Studio 2008, the Visual C++ 2008 runtime
    (non-SP1) is also required, but there's enough chance you already have
    it installed (and Sony's application requires it too).

    If you don't have the VAIO Remote Play application itself, download it
    from the official Sony site (http://tinyurl.com/sonyvrp) and install.

For full installation, make sure you read the Read Me and give NTAuthority thanks when you can.
dowload

Currently running on the Wifes Netbook

Actually works quite well, its running my my Dell now.

Just need a way of linking a mobile phone

Can you linkify a download which doesnt require registration/logon?
