iPhone running Windows via Citrix

For those of you with iPhones who need to run windows programs, help is on the way.  Citrix has announced that it is developing an iPhone App for running a remote PC through you iPhone.  Video after the jump.

Citrix has long been in the thin client business and the remote access business with their GoToMyPC and GoToMeeting websites.  Citrix has unofficial announced the app via their blog.  Citrix says that the iPhone app will give you the ability to control full Windows programs on your iPhone via the remote access, including cut and paste within Windows.

If this works as they say, and Citrix is a company with the knowledge and experience to pull it off, you would have full remote access to your office via your iPhone.  No more need for a laptop when you travel.  Now, I'm imagining this run on a slightly bigger tablet-form iPhone/MacBook....I'm thinking virtual office in your palm!

Here's a video from Citrix demonstrating the prototype:
