    It is crap that they dont have this for BB and do for all the toy phones! MOST businesses use BB! They say that its under construction but they have been saying that forever as we see more versions come out for other smart phones. I dont believe they are making one for BB and think they are just leading us on.

    why on earth does the ipad have a citrix receiver app before the blackberry, the ipad is without doubt a toy and won't be used by most serious companies for any sort of citrix use except by a few fringe users. What is the hold up on the blackberry app, its been months and the patience is thinning. At the very least some answers as to what the hold up has been would be a pleasant surprise instead of only being ignored. Please someone from Citrix respond to these questions.

    I guess there are a lot of things I could say about not having the receiver for Blackberry, but the biggest surprise to me is how Citrix is handling this thread. All of these questions are just being ignored! Just a date or explanation as to what the hold-up is. I have a large company asking questions as to when this is going to be publicly available, or is there even a beta out there?

    Something for Citrix Marketing and Management to consider...

    • Big clients use Blackberry
    • Big clients decide how best to deploy applications (should they buy / renew Citrix)
    • Delivery to Blackberry can swing the decision (it is for my big client this week...)
    • I love Citrix, saves writing nasty web apps to do what you can do better with a good thin client...
    • Blacbberry = Business...

    (By the way - there would be more on this thread if it was not so hard to read the picture words needed to post!!! It takes my 5+ attempts to be able to read one!)

      Hey guys,

      First of all, let me assure you that Receiver for BlackBerry is not dead. We are not turning our back on the platform that owns half the mobile market and are moving forward with development.

      We fielded a controlled beta program with a limited number of testers and based on the feedback we received, decided to make a number of changes to improve usability. Of course, this takes time, but the new design is now circulating internally and finishing touches are being added.

      I can't give any dates on a release, but in case you didn't know, our Synergy show is in May.

        Hi Tim, Not the forum for feature QA I know - but don't overlook seamless published application mode - maximised - this is the tidiest delivery channel for mobile apps, max use of the screen real estate. There is a whole sector for choosing thin over web for comming new build app delivery, in addition to existing scale and scroll apps.

    It's good to hear that Citrix has been lunch for BB.
    I've try to testing for this client. I can download and install it well.
    I can create an account. I'm sure that I've fill in all information correctly but
    there's pop-up a message like "Mobile data services and network connection must be turn on."
    Does I miss something? Or I need to more configure on my BB?

    I use BB Curve 8520.

    Great advantage for the blackberry device - unfortunatly it does not yet support ica-encryption. We're looking forward to version 1.1 with ica-encryption capability, because most of our XenApp published apps are using 128 bit encryption and I don't want to fall back to basic.

    This is a great product but it doesn't work with Citrix Access Gateway.
    I have 2 Devices sitting on my desk right now. IPhone4 and a Blackberry Touch
    The Citrix Reciever app for the Iphone 4 works great because it includes a section for the Access gateway.
    The Citrix Recievier app for the Torch... no Section for the access gatway.. why not?
    Am I missing somthing here?
