When it comes to using the HP TouchPad tablet for work, the killer app they can count on is Citrix Receiver, the universal client for corporate application access.
More than 100 Million people use Citrix Receiver to access their work apps every day. 500,000 apps sounds like a big number but consider every commercial Windows app available plus all the custom apps built by the millions of in house Visual Studio developers.
Add to that customized Excel templates with macros, Access databases and Word document forms plus the thousands of company web apps that require IE or some specialized browser plug-in. These are all the apps that companies depend on everyday and employees need access to in order to be productive. As long as those apps are hosted on XenDesktop or XenApp they can be delivered to any TouchPad tablet equipped with Citrix Receiver.
The Citrix Receiver under development currently works with WebOS on PalmPre devices now and will be available for the TouchPad and Pre 3 when shipping. The HP Veer looks interesting but may be too small to optimize Receiver for with a 2.6 inch display.
We will be focusing on including many of the native webOS UX and gestures of the TouchPad to bridge the gap to enterprise apps hosted on Citrix. The TouchPad 9.7 inch display with 1024x768 resolution should provide a great experience for most apps. For the Pre 3, unaltered apps will work, but we will recommend Mobile app optimizations to provide the best experice with the 3.6 inch display. Let us know if you plan to give the TouchPad or Pre 3 a look and what apps you care about using with the new devices.

Citrix Receiver is accessed via the browser, where after you log in you select the desktop apps you want to access. You select the app and it loads up the virtualized window with which you can interact, with all the processing offloaded onto a cloud server.
You can see also an Amazon kindle application is available for the HP webOS TouchPad and other apps like eamil, calendar, synergy, multitask , video call, and touch to share.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something that I think I
ReplyDeletewould never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!
