Citrix on the IPhone 3G
I finally finished my 18 month mobile contract this week and so to celebrate I jumped supplier and moved to O2 in the UK so I could get myself a new 3G Iphone. So today was the first real chance i’d had to sit down and look around at what applications were out there for use with this fantastic device.
One of the first things I went looking for was a Citrix ICA client. I use Citrix as my main way of connecting into work remotely when I’ve got a task to do out of hours, being able to use it on the Iphone therefore would increase my flexibility in that I don’t have to be at home or near an internet connection when I want to do something that can only be done out of hours.
After doing a bit of reading it would appear that Citrix don’t have an Iphone Citrix client yet but they are definately working on one. Chris Fleck’s Iphone blog has been updated recently to state that they will be shipping a “Citrix App Receiver client for the iPhone” sometime in the first half of 2009. Keep your eyes peeled to this blog page for updates and make sure you cast your vote to tell Citrix what you need Citrix on the Iphone for, lets raise the priority on this one. There’s a great little video of what they’ve managed to achieve already on Albert Grandville’s blog site looks pretty sweet. Suppose the only question is going to be in and around interaction with the windows desktop, I don’t think anyone will be writing up any large reports on their Iphone.
