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.
Citrix 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.

From the Palm Blog:
Thanks to the free Citrix Receiver -- which should be available for TouchPad at launch -- you’ll have free, secure, and easy access to a vast library of apps from your company’s IT data center.
Citrix Receiver and webOS are an ideal fit. For example, thanks to webOS’s multitasking capabilities, you can run multiple sessions simultaneously and work the same way on your mobile device that you are used to on a laptop with plenty of apps and documents open in multiple windows. Citrix Receiver also embraces touch-enabled applications.

And Citrix’s “zero-touch” approach to managing scheduled downloads and updates is a perfect match for the automatic over-the-air updates offered by webOS. Developers who are familiar with the open philosophy of webOS that makes it easy to create apps for other platforms (and to bring apps to webOS from other platforms) will also appreciate the multi-platform, multi-device approach found with Citrix Receiver.
