Remote Access via a G1?

January 26, 2009 12:33 PM

I have remote access to my work computer from any other computer via Citrix. Would I be able to access my work computer in the same manner from a T-Mobile G1 phone (or from any other similar cell phone)?

I don't want to have to coordinate this with anyone at work, I just want to know if it's possible to do. I know I can't get remote access on a Blackberry, I have tried it already.

Best answer: There's a mobile citrix client for windows mobile, but Ive never used it. The real problem will be that speed and latency on a mobile connection is really terrible. I doubt the setup would be usable at all. Even if you get on a wifi connection you still have to contend with a tiny screen and a weak CPU.

Best answer: Citrix has demo'ed a client for the iPhone but I don't know when it will be released.

Best answer: a Citrix blog has a poll asking if people would be interested in Android support... go and vote for Android!
