Video Demo Silverlight on iPhone via Citrix

Do you wish to use your iPhone to access Silverlight enabled web sites? Silverlight is growing in popularity. Check out the Silverlight showcase.

While currently iPhone doesn't support Silverlight natively, you will soon be able to view Silverlight powered cool web sites via Citrix Receiver for iPhone. Here is a quick preview of what is to come.

Did I forget iPhone doesn't support Flash? Here is an iPhone friendly version. I will blog about Flash on iPhone soon.

A business intelligence application is demonstrated above. You can find the demo application here.

Some Silverlight applications will work better on iPhone than others. But at least you have an option to use them now. Citrix also enabled opportunities to optimize Silverlight enabled web sites for iPhone. More on that later.

If you know any Silverlight enabled web application/sites that may be useful when accessed from iPhone, could you let me know by posting comments?

Please check out our iPhone project community site for more details.

      Hi,

       I know such questions are going to come up .

      I haven't tried it myself yet. I guess it should run. However I would not recommend it. This Citrix technology is optimized for business applications such as the one I demoed here.

      We are working on enhancing multimedia experience. Please see the recent announcement about HDX technology. It's still a work in progress.

      That said, I doubt watching Netflix movies will ever be on product managers' priority list

      Thanks

    I suggest checking out the website www.freestockcharts.com
    It is very useful since giving streaming live data for stocks, but I can not run it obviously from iPhone. I'm looking for a solution. For me it si far more important than stock apps for iphone.
