BB10 - Laptop/Desktop Replacement?
Heins said in that NYT interview that a BB10 phone can be a laptop/desktop replacement in 3 to 5 years hooking it up to a mouse/keyboard/display. Now you already can pretty much do this with the PlayBook and Citrix Receiver. My question right now though is if you do try to do this next year with a BB10 phone would you be able to have dual monitor support somehow? Also, what other enterprise/home laptop/desktop replacement features do you all think they have baked into BB10 or at least on the roadmap?

Well QNXwill run on any given processor architecture, i won't be surprised if RIM tags team with INTEL over their reputably "praiseworthy" Haswell line-up, or unless AMD can pull out major value proposition, 3-5 years is 'overextending' the projection of eventuality.

I use Auto Cad and solidworks.

It's a industry wide system not just my firm. All engineers use auto cad or solid works and various other programs.

I thought citrix is only for the data unification and synchronization but not to run heavy software like AutoCAD. CMIIW.
You've got the point Mike, that latency and framerates will be the major problems.
