Re: Displaying Window Apps via MetaFrame on a Handheld My earlier comment- "For those that don't understand, it's possible using MetaFrame to get full blown Windows apps sent down a narrowband pipe to display on handhelds. How you can view the app on the tiny screen is another matter. But it still beats having to deal with writing all new software for enterprise apps to be displayed on mobile handhelds." From David's Article- "Virtual Screen Control - Because the LCD screens on palm-size PCs are small (typically 240 by 320 pixels), they cannot fully display applications written for devices with larger screens. Virtual Screen Control provides a small, rectangular screen inset that allows the user to control which portion of the display is visible at a given time." David, Thanks for that timely response to my semi-hypothetical question about screen size of handhelds displaying full blown Window apps via MetaFrame. So that is how Citrix will be solving the problem. Interesting solution. Never having owned a handheld, I still don't quite understand the market. But hopefully for those that have a handheld, having access to full blown corporate apps running/processing on the company server, will be useful. MikeM(From Florida)
