I have never thought of virtual desktop is a good way of enterprise mobilization. However some of our enterprise IT still consider it as the temporary solution for the low level of mobilization requirement by end users.

Virtual desktop is a technology with a long history. Every Unix system administrators must be quite familiar with Xmanager or some tool like that. On mobile devices it could be a different story.

1. Virtual desktop on mobile devices provide users with no good UI experiences. UI Controls are nowhere like native ones. You have to wait for remote response of each actions you make on the devices. Right click hardly works like what you get with mouse on PC.

2. Performance can be bad due to slow network connections. Client crashes with no reasons and you have to log in again and again.

3. It works on Pad only, no phone users can endure working with PC desktop on a small screen.

4. Network Expense becomes out of control. Tests found the data volumes consumption is high because of the download and rendering of the remote desktop.

It is not to say that virtual desktop on mobile devices is of no use. IT persons can do administrative works with devices on their hands. But it can only be a temporary solution for some simple requirements such as office document manipulation. Enterprises with a clear mobility strategy and vision are still considering building native, web or hybrid application for mobile device workers.
