>>Never having owned a handheld, I still don't quite understand the market.

Just a niche market until there is significant improvement in wireless handhelds in terms of both battery life and $/kb. MetaFrame/ICA are a natural fit for the latter issue. Perhaps even the power issue since a thin client doesn't need much local horsepower to display the screen image and handle user I/O. I foresee the potential for "dumbed-down" handhelds optimized for wireless WinFrame type I/O.
