Star Citrix to Provide Windows Virtualization on iPhone?
Linked by Adam S on Wed 18th Jun 2008 22:50 UTC
In the News Application virtualization veteran Citrix, who last year purchased Xensource, today announced their intention to deliver XenDesktop, based on their thin client technology, for the iPhone. While similar applications exist in the form of VNSea, Citrix is a major player in virtualization and this certainly bodes well for those who want to connect to remote devices via their iPhone. Citrix demo'ed their wifi-only application at the Citrix Application Delivery Conference in Australia this week.

Actually, I believe your title is inaccurate. There is no virtualization involved and there is no claim of virtualization in the original article.

Exactly and Citrix's main technology is not virtualization but rather thin client and Remote Desktop type technology.

Nevertheless, propagating misleading titles is as much wrong as creating a misleading title. I'd say you should've added a "source claims" or even "misleadingly claims" note at least in the news' description.

While you're subtle/dry method of questioning the reporting by ZDnet was not entirely lost on many of us... I guess not everyone can appreciate it ;)
