If you haven't seen the video, just watch it and don't forget the comments! Its pretty funny.

Well, considering the N900 is more open and has the same CPU etc it can also run the same software in the iPad. The software is here

http://code.google.com/p/vmware-view-open-client/

and you can find some compile information here

http://code.google.com/p/vmware-view...wiki/Compiling

I'm going to take a try on compiling it, but I thought I'll let you guys know first

I guess I'm missing the point - isn't it just a thin client on the iPad that is running XP off his other computer? If so, what's the big deal?

Well, if this thin client runs on the iPad, why not on the N900?
Also, it might be faster than VNC, etc.

The plus side of this would be some of the local hardware support that VMWare View supports.

To some running this in their datacenter, it could be useful.
