How to Use Citrix ICA Client on the iPad
Citrix makes an iPad and iPhone app called "Citrix Receiver" that lets you connect to and view your corporate applications, documents and email on any Citrix ICA client server. Instead of using the Virtual Network Computing protocol, Citrix uses the Independent Computing Architecture that allows for an overall better display experience on a remote computer or the iPad tablet.
