MikeD- But my point is, with ICA a 28.8 pipe(which is where wireless can be ubiquitous shortly) is almost good enough today to display full blown Win/Web apps. But what good is a full blown app on a teeny tiny screen ala Psion, WAP, PALM, etc. That's what I don't get? Why the mad rush to run/standardize those types of devices.

Seems like Sharp/Citrix should get together and create a cell phone/high res. screen combo. I thought I saw one cell phone manufacturer who did this. I believe it may have been a Nokia. But it was not a thin-client device.

If you can put CTXS together with a digital cell phone that can unfold a decent small high-res screen, bingo! No re-writes of billions of web pages and thousands of Window apps. Best of all it's here and now.

I know I'm missing something in the big picture. I guess with time, I'll figure it out. -MikeM(From Florida)
