One more point, the same version of the Application is used on all devices. Meaning you only have to update 1 instance of Word or Adobe Reader, or patch 1 version of Windows 7. The same version runs on all of the devices shown.

As for the mouse, its much easier to use the iPhone as a trackpad, vs. sliding your iPhone across a table.

Nice Video!

I have a question, uhm so when using the citrix receiver do u need a desktop with windows to access it in iPad? just like for example i'm in a plane with no laptop with me but have my iPad, can i still run windows 7 with it? or citrix does merely transfer the viewing of in the screen in the laptop to the iPad. please help cause im thinking if ill get an iPad or a netbook.

Meanwhile, some slaves are starving in a factory, making Apple products & stuff.

What if I don't have an iphone to use as a mouse for the citrix plug? Is there another hardware option?
