The latest update for Parallels Mobile for the iPad says that it adds this ability:

enable you to control your Mac just like you control your virtual machine

How is this done or enabled?

I have the latest version and I am logged in on the desktop via the Preferences > Mobile tabe as per the setup guidance, but I only see my virtual machine, not anything that looks like it is connecting to or controlling the Mac itself.
 
Are you running OS X Lion on your Mac? I believe controlling your Mac via Parallels Mobile only works if both Parallels 7 and OS X Lion are used in conjunction.
 
I am running Lion and Parallels Desktop 6.

It would be more than odd if Parallels 7 is required for this feature to work. Firstly because 7 had been out for what, 10 minutes? And also because the App Store page for Parallels Mobile says nothing at all about a requirement for Parallels 7.

Any other thoughts, or is Parallels just very slack in its description and support of this app?
 
Yep, the description is vague. I have seen that requirement elsewhere ad have confirmed it myself. I was also running 6 and only after upgrading to 7 was I able to connect to my OS X host. It makes sense but they could be more clear.
 
Fair enough. I actually see the mention of this requirement now on the App Store page, hadn't noticed it before.
 
It's not clear to me either. Glad you make a point guys. better try it for myself
