Citrix Nirvana phone provides the full desktop experience — BYO keyboard and monitor (video)

Citrix is something of a storied name in the IT industry, once the leader in remote desktop apps, now looking to make a big return with the Nirvana phone concept. The idea has been around for awhile, but partnership with mobile virtualization gurus Open Kernel Labs gives it new legs. Nirvana phone is just a minimum set of fairly achievable hardware specs (528MHz ARM processor, 256MB ROM, 192MB RAM) required to facilitate remote access to a full desktop. The idea is you simply plug the phone into a monitor, then connect to a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse (or use the phone as a touchpad), and, hey presto, you have a full desktop experience without having a full desktop. In theory you could pocket your smartphone and leave that clunky Targus bag in your cubicle, but should duty call while you’re away we’re not entirely sure where you’re going to find a disused monitor and keyboard ripe for the plugging. Still, it’s interesting tech, demonstrated remotely for you below.

Nexus One Bluetooth desktop dock clears the FCC, car clip spotted in the wilds

The slow steady drip of details from the yet to be announced Nexus One continues today with a pair of accessories for the HTC / Google mashup. Above we’ve got a wireframe of the portrait-mode Desktop Dock to be known as model CR B410. What’s unusual here is the inclusion of Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR in the dock when the Nexus One is already Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR capable. After all, we’ve heard that the handset includes a docking connector at its base so what additional functionality would the second Bluetooth radio provide? That mystery aside, the FCC test report also shows a configuration where the dock is tethered via an AV-jack to a DVD player to help pull your multimedia off the slate and into the living room. We’ve also grabbed a shot of the Nexus One navigating inside a car with the help of a dashboard clip mount — check it after the break along side a few more FCC pics.

[Thanks, elli8ness]
