Mobile cloud computing thoughts

I know its coming the inevitable comparison of touch screen devices on the market. until now we have had iPhone vs crap that tried to be an iPhone killer (ie Instink) and so on. Webos, Apple and Android are the beginning of cloud computing in the palm of your hand. now this is how these devices should be compared. How fast the network gets the information and how quick the device gets it to you and how it looks visually. This is great for people that want to do everything on the net like store contacts, email , calendar, maps, facebook, Myspace, advertising, saving slash editing pictures and sending from the net, to storage of documents. Think Google apps in the palm of your hand with out anything really being stored on a device. It starts with the premise that the data services and architecture should be on servers. We call it cloud computing – they should be in a ‘cloud’ somewhere. And that if you have the right kind of browser or the right kind of access, it doesn’t matter whether you have a PC or a Mac or a mobile phone or a Blackberry or what have you. You can get access to the cloud. All mobile devices should be rated by how well they achieve this very form of communication.

Palms Pre. Hidden talents.

The phone comes with a 3.1 inch multi touch display with a resolution of 320 x 480. A full QWERTY keyboard is ready to slide out underneath and there’s an accelerometer ready, just in case you want to browse the internet in a widescreen fashion. 3G is possible via EVDO REV. A and there’s 802.11b/g WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth with A2Dp and a 3 megapixel camera with LED flash and 8gig of storage. Now for the smart stuff. How about a device that tells you when your going to be late to a meeting that's stored in your calendar by looking at your location time of arrival and distance. It will notify you that your going to be late and send an email to your boss telling him your late and will be arriving at an approximate time just by knowing your location and you didn't even do anything but drive. It will plan your day out and download maps of your day from appointment to appointment and list all contacts for you on your daily tasks list that would be used this day. Now this is pretty cool. Finally someone is thinking and with an ex apple employee running the show at palm we might just have an iphone killer, Finally.
