As you may have seen in previous blog discussions some of us are very keen on the idea of a device that goes beyond the existing smartphone limitations of small screens and keyboards. The ability to connect to XenApp - XenDesktop from a phone and view it ( & use it ) on a large screen is now possible. This video demos the Nirvana Phone concept with an iMate 6150 and a Redfly from Celio. We are not at Nirvana yet, but these devices make it visible we are getting closer.

Let us know of other candidates for the Nirvana Phone, and what you think is still missing.

This is an AWESOME concept! I cannot wait to see this happen in the OEM market and all anyone will have to do is carry the phone around and they can use it anywhere! PLUS the cost savings will be significant because the phones cost less than a laptop. iPhones need this!!! TF

Quick note on the Celio Redfly. The video above took a little time go get posted, and the Redfly is now generally available. See www.celiocorp.com

We've been able to work with the iMate 8150 which has a numeric keypad, and it showed the same level of compatibility with XenApp and XenDesktop as the 6150 shown in the demo, www.imate.com. Now we just want the version with a full qwerty keyboard, and the VGA output.

Hi,

 How about looking at the devices from Nvidia with the APX2500 chipset. HDMI output @ 1080p?
