Clarification: MikeM provided better insight to this back on his post. Message 13391618 ICA fits for delivering full application environment to larger real estate devices like the Psion Netbook, handheld PC's etc. for mobile ERP and e-buiness app's. Vertigo then is presumably targeted to those very small devices where full display and interaction is impractical. That make better sense to me. dd

"Vertigo is really the protocol/development environment/whatever for this wireless world. The Register seemed to be paraphrasing from the CEO interview in UK demo when stating that ICA is not the appropriate protocol for small form-factor devices like the Palm, cell phones, etc. Here, Vertigo steps in to provide the high-speed, rich interface objects to the device. I must be missing something here. Is ICA the transport for Vertigo-based app's or not?" dreydoc- I was going to address your statement but I see your follow-up referencing my older post may have cleared it up. NOW, I hope I don't really confuse the subject with my next comment. ___________________________ "The Palm demo used a version of Citrix's Vertigo protocol for connectivity. Citrix's ICA protocol isn't appropriate for devices with small screen real estate like the Palm, so under Vertigo, which is currently undergoing development, all of the objects in the user interface are actually held on the server." The above writer's view (from your Oct 24, 1999 posting) is not quite accurate. I think you agree with this too. Here's how I think it should have read: "The Palm demo used a version of Citrix's Vertigo application for developers to preview stock quotes and weather. Citrix's ICA protocol isn't appropriate for devices with small screen real estate like the Palm, to port to the user, full-blown Window apps. So using Vertigo, which is currently undergoing development, all of the objects in the user interface are actually re-writes of Window apps, down-sized for the Palm screen. ICA is still used to transport the app to the handheld." I'm just shooting from the hip. In your opinion is my latest thinking accurate? If so, then it's an entirely new direction that Citrix is taking. -MikeM(From Florida)

Anyone have thoughts or insights into whether this Vertigo compete's with, extends, or is largely complimentary to functionality of app's that are written to take advantage of WAP? I don't understand it yet. Seems relevant to discussion of tornado potential for CTXS. Comments appreciated.< Hi Dreydoc: Forgive me for not answering your post till now. I was planning to call the company today but see Mike took over-thanks Mike. First of all your comment I don't understand it yet applies equally to me. Looking at my notes from the meeting I noticed some things Iacobucci said that I don't think I posted. >>ICA was embedded in mobile phones. We (CTXS) work with all the key players. 2 ways to deploy app's 1. Traditional. ICA provides that.. 2. Web Centric WAP..we believe Vertigo fits in here. Don't know if this clarifies or confuses. Ray
