Citrix used its thin client technology to demonstrate an Apple iPhone
running Windows XP, at the recent Citrix Application Delivery
Conference in Melbourne.

Do you know any other phone that can run XP?
I don't even think Microsoft has gotten that far yet with their mobile
phone OS.

No, they didn't. Citrix makes remote access software. They were remote
accessing a WinXP Box from their client software running on an iPhone.

This is essentially what Larry does with his N800 tablet every day, and I
do (less often) with my Windows Mobile phone.

Nope, and neither does the iPhone. Citrix makes a thin clent package for a
variety of devices, however, including the Nokia S60 series.

Funny you should mention that...

Only as a "proof of concept", a developer loaded Windows 98 on Windows
Mobile devices years ago (using software emulation.)And running MS-DOS via
emulation on WinMo is almost as old as WinMo itself.

That was the ONE, SINGLE, SOLE app running, right?

Well, my old Palm m505 with a CDPD modem could access XP using PalmVNC.
iPhone masters another years old concept and people hail it as new.

Yay.
