In order to use Citrix Receiver you will also need either XenApp or XenDesktop to publish the Windows apps or virtual desktops. A simpler and less costly alternative is Ericom AccessNow, a pure HTML5 RDP client that enables users with HTML5-compatible browsers to connect to any RDP host, including Terminal Server (RDS Session Host), physical desktops or VDI virtual desktops – and run their applications and desktops in a browser. AccessNow is a fraction of the price of Citrix Receiver and installs in a few minutes.
Ericom‘s AccessNow does not require Java, Flash, Silverlight, ActiveX, or any other underlying technology to be installed on end-user devices – an HTML5 browser is all that is required.

Thanks for providing full disclosure Adam. I admit ignorance when it comes to AccessNow so thanks for the info.
on android, firefox in combination with Citrix receiver 3.0 works nicely: No nead to configure the receiver.
Just access the logonpoint, logon and the browser should start the receiver when clicking on a published resource.
