The Nirvana Phone Isn’t a Phone at All; Convincing Laptop Users to Ditch the Heavy Machine

A collaboration between Open Kernel Labs (OK Labs) andCitrix, the nirvana phone is about as far from “yet another” mobile phone as one can get. The concept allows users to access their corporate virtual desktop and applications from a single mobile broadband device. Adding a Bluetooth keyboard and separate display connected to an HDMI-enabled handset replaces the need to constantly carry a laptop in addition to contemporary smartphones.

The companies are promoting solutions for delivering enterprise applications to mobile with Mobile-to-Enterprise (M2E) virtualization. M2E virtualization enables end users to do more with a single device, bridging corporate and personal worlds without risk of compromising company data, applications, or networks.
