In the spirit of "keepin it simple", so simple that even a caveman can do it, I engaged the help of a few of our best CTPs (Child Technology Protégés),actually technology savvy elementary school kids to help produce a small video showing off some Citrix technology with mobile devices. So those of us that aren't smarter than a 5th grader should still be able to follow along
We had a lot of fun making this video, but the interesting part was that the kids actually GOT IT! The video features Citrix Ready products from partners Sprint and Celio. Three use cases are expressed in the video:
- Mobile Health Care Users
- Traveling Road Warriors
- Mobile Field Technicians
Hope the video helps generate some ideas on how you can use Citrix to simplify you mobile deployments.
We will dive deeper into some of these use cases as part of a video series on Citrix TV so you can get a little more familiar with each, and some of the products used. If the kid thing works, we may need to have a sequel ![]()
Ever wanted to quickly update a document without having to pull out your laptop? The video below shows updating a contract using Citrix XenApp and a Sprint HTC Touch Pro. Cut and pasting data between different documents is easy given the Touch Pro has a CTRL key, allowing quick cut and past via CTRL C/CTRL V across documents.
The file navigation is a new very early concept we are looking at , and was first shown off is Chris Fleck's blog about the upcoming Citrix Reciever for iPhone http://community.citrix.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=52298806. I've used a slightly modified version in this video, more news on this later ![]()
Interested in trying out the App Reciever on your Windows Mobile Professional device (must have a touch screen), go to the Citrix download page to get it for free, point your phones web browser to your your Citrix farm's Web Interface and give it a try (Windows Mobile Download Site). You most likely want the ARM Processor Version 10.00 for you Windows Mobile Professional device.
