What Radixs calls "the first Universal Mobile Operating System" is, in reality a client-server application. The Radixs Platform is installed on a mobile device. The Radixs Server can then run an application locally (with all the power of a desktop system) and display the screens and take input from a handheld running the platform. The result looks like a desktop application running on a hand-held.
This isn't the first example of such applications. Microsoft's own Terminal Server and VNC allow you to do much the same thing on an appropriately configured Windows box. Last year Microsoft also showed an application that would take speach input through a Pocket PC, translate it into text on a desktop PC, and put the results back into the Pocket PC as typed text. The Radixs solution does run on a wider variety of hand-held harware and provides some optimizing of streamed content over the afforementioned.
