Citrix and Open Kernel Labs together to collaborate on a project smartphone Nirvana Phone. This device is expected to become not just a mobile phone, and be able to fully replace the laptop business class. The idea is that in order to make life easier for those who constantly have to carry a laptop, you need to create a phone that in addition to standard communication functions will be necessary to connect computer peripheral connectors. In this case, on arrival at the user only need to connect a monitor, keyboard, etc.

According to Citrix, about 70% of users have no need for a laptop on the road, so such a Nirvana Phone system would be very helpful to them. As the minimum needed to replace the PC requirements Citrix and Open Kernel Labs called Bluetooth 2.0 + with full support for HID, USB 2.0 + Host controller modules WiFi and 3G, and video output HDMI or VGA, and also, at least 528 MHz ARM processor with 256 MB ROM and 192 MB of RAM memory. If we compare these requirements with actual models of platform-based Qualcomm Snapdragon, NVIDIA Tegra or Texas Instruments OMAP4, it becomes clear that the visualization at the level of your home or business station - is quite real.
