Citrix and Wyse have both released virtual desktop applications for the iPad that let people run Windows applications on Apple's tablet.On Friday, Citrix announced the immediate availability of its Receiver virtual office client and GoToMeeting web conferencing client for the iPad. On the same day, thin-client specialist Wyse separately introduced a version of its PocketCloud app for the same device.
"The iPad is ideal for mobile business use as a complement to the corporate desktop," Citrix chief Mark Templeton said in a statement. In a demonstration video for the iPad version of Citrix Receiver, posted on Monday by Citrix community chief Chris Fleck, the tablet is shown running Microsoft Word, as well as a 3D modelling application, a scheduler and patient record management software for hospital usage.
The iPad's 9.7-inch screen "makes the combination of iPad and PocketCloud a natural fit", Daniel Barreto, the chief software architect for Wyse, said in a separate statement. "We expect the adoption of iPad to be yet another reason for businesses and consumers to abandon their PCs," he added.

Just In
Or just wait for Windows 7 tablet device (i.e. HP SLATE) that runs a full Windows 7 OS, has USB ports, webcam. Everything the iPad could have been but isn't will be the HP Slate. Dont waste money or time on the iPad, just wait for the slate.
It's not even in the same league. The HP Slate is the same old PC in a tablet shape. The iPad is a hybrid between a PC and a smart phone. It would be like saying don't buy an XBOX just buy a PC.
And the answer is: they are the same one bigger
and the other small thats all, but neither one
are a computer and never will be. And by the
way electronic gaming began with computers.
Game consoles are just downgraded computers. If
a PC were the same price as an Xbox witch one
will you buy? If macbooks were at the same
price as Ipads witch one will you buy?
interesting questions, right. The ipad is a web
toy just as the itouch and the Xbox is a
downgraded pc to sell games that's all.
