Honestly not :) I have only googled it and there are tons of VNC clients for
iOS so I hope some of them are usable for us.
But I would be very surprised if none...
There are few, they work, but the best ones are >$20 so haven't tried those.
I don't understand "usable for us" though, since we can only delegate the
request
to vnc:// to iOS, where users preferred client will be selected.
