By Jared DiPane on 21 Dec 2011 03:33 pm
Citrix Receiver for the BlackBerry PlayBook has officially shed the "tech preview" status and gained the official tag with version 1.0 hitting BlackBerry AppWorld. For those unfamiliar with Citrix Receiver, it is an application that offers IT managers enterprise virtualization from the PlayBook. Previously in the tech preview many of the important features like CAG support, RSA token supprt and even Citrix Gateway support were not available, but with the recent bump they now are. The upgrade to 1.0 brings along the following new features for those of you upgrading
- CA encryption (SecureICA) and SSL, to secure communications between user devices and XenApp and XenDesktop
- Windows Extended keyboard, including keys such as Ctrl, Alt, and Delete
- Pan, pinch, and zoom
- Session roaming between Receiver for PlayBook and other Receivers
If your company uses Citrix be sure to hit the link below to grab Citrix Receiver for the BlackBerry PlayBook, and if you would like to learn more about it be sure to check that out here.

Citrix receiver for playbook has been a LIFE SAVER!
msrb21 Dec 21, 2011 at 3:57 pm
Yeah I'll give this one a try as well... Most of my tools are under citrix, haha...
Wolf35Nine Dec 21, 2011 at 4:08 pm
Good news. I'm telling you, don't sleep on RIMs stock. It will make a comeback.
thpsrulr Dec 21, 2011 at 5:14 pm
Great start but I was just trying it out and I couldnt find a way to use the function keys (f1, f2, etc) and also when i try to remote desktop to my work pc via rd as a published app, i couldnt resize the screen in order to get to the password field.
rexrim Dec 21, 2011 at 6:23 pm
cool ! but anyone can show some tutorial how to connect ur playbook to your pc via citrix ?
Blackberry_Fanboy Dec 21, 2011 at 6:34 pm
That's very good news.So many compnies already allowed iPad to use Citrix.Now playbook users can also connect to their office network....Go Go RIM 2012 is all yours..Release many enterprise apps along with OS 2.0.

This has made my PB infinitely more useful. I can now connect to my firm's network with my PB, which I love. Well done, Citrix.
greatwiseone Dec 21, 2011 at 7:19 pm
Citrix for the PB is awesome! So much better than the one on the iPad and Android with respect to being able to multitask between different citrix applications!
HabsSuck Dec 21, 2011 at 7:51 pm
this is huge for enterprise. finally I can connect to my company's network remotely.
lnichols Dec 21, 2011 at 7:58 pm
They fixed whatever was keeping the previous version from letting me into my account with the government. So happy that I can finally use the Playbook for real work!
rppaul Dec 21, 2011 at 8:13 pm
Works nicely! A few tweaks I hope they fix,but definitely usuable
Jerky223 Dec 21, 2011 at 8:23 pm
The update works with my companies Citrix, Awesome!
stevepar Dec 21, 2011 at 8:42 pm
Would this mean that GOTOMYPC might not be too far away??
MM13 Dec 21, 2011 at 9:36 pm
Sweet, now i'll be able to access my college's network :)
yalervp Dec 21, 2011 at 10:12 pm
This is great. Can't wait to try this out at work. Now I can whip my playbook out of my coat, check on labs and chart in patients' rooms. Take that ipad (cause that ain't fittin in any white coat, for sure).
AggreX Dec 21, 2011 at 11:38 pm
Nice that Citrix came through for Rim/PB !! The PB fits my scrub pant pockets, coat pocket or my insulated lunch bag-to-go... lol
HofstraJet Dec 22, 2011 at 12:24 am
Best part is you can tether and not need wifi!!!
djkbb Dec 22, 2011 at 4:31 pm
Still only works with Enterprise CAG, what happened to Standard being supported in the 1.0 release? Guess they had to cut features to release it before the end of the year.
