There have been some changes for the Horizon AppManager in July and the EUC team already blogged about it on their corporate blog. This month the changes are targeted on the mobile experience and custom branding options.

Here are some of the key improvement:

• Added scroll gesture support for the iPad. Allows you to browse applications just by swiping your iPad left or right.
• iPad specific application view
• Custom branding includes your company logo and name, UI color options, customized links for help and privacy pages and the ability to add customer header and footer logos.

Please check the EUC team blog for more detailed information.
