The era of the smartphones has given us with so much technological edge that the world as we know it has become an even smaller place with the opening of numerous communication venues on mobile platforms. However, the one thing that today’s smartphones lack is the basic computing power and the features of a conventional laptop or desktop. Now, all that is going to change with the introduction of an all new smartphone, called the Nirvana Phone. Although the Nirvana Phone is conceived as a reference architecture device, but the platform it provides integrates both mobile phone connectivity and the power and functions of a desktop.

The Nirvana Phone is the brainchild of Open Kernel Labs, a name that is synonymous with cutting edge visualization software for smart devices and broadband internet devices, along with Citrix Systems Inc. The all new Nirvana Phone enables the users access to computer applications and virtual desktops via the smart phone, regardless of the user’s location. The users will be able to connect the Nirvana Phone to displays, keyboards, mice and other PC hardware and the device will provide them with a complete virtual desktop on a mobile platform to work from. The Nirvana Phone will feature mobile virtualization, cloud computing, 3G, Wifi and Bluetooth, along with the capability of chipset support, high definition video output and increased screen resolution.

According to Steve Subar (CEO, Open Kernel Labs),

“The nirvana phone will provide groundbreaking capabilities without breaking IT budgets with exotic technology The nirvana phone represents a near-term paradigm shift — OK Labs, Citrix, and our ecosystem partners envision real-world converged nirvana devices enabled for both mobility and desktop productivity entering the market within 12 to 18 months.”
