We have all seen a jail broken iPhone with the capability to VPN into a windows running machine, but now we may be seeing a program that will allow you to do this without unlocking your iPhone. Citrix recently released that they are working on a technology client to run Windows XP on the iPhone. They ran a demo of the way the application will run on the iPhone and demonstrated it on the real thing.
Many business users have a huge demand for remoting into a work computer and retrieving information while out of the office, Citrix has been able to provide many different routs to doing so, and until now they never included the iPhone.
There is no specific release on it, it is still being tested and demoed on the phone, and unlike the past its been said that this option will be relatively inexpensive as compared to the corporate versions that they have had in the past which can run the corporate bill quiet high.

It would have to go some to be better than TouchPadPro. I’ve been using this for a while on my iPhone and can’t think what else Citrix could bring to remote control of PCs that TouchPadPro doesn’t already cover. And it’s cheap!
if Apple would allow java on the iPhone, you would be able to use Citrix via Safari, with no additional software or development required.
Really VPN or VNC?
