Tablets – The Future Of Mobile Computing?
2010-12-10 14:30:00 When the iPad was announced on January 27, 2010 by Steve Jobs at an Apple press conference at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco there were multiple verdicts — Some said it would die out while others called it the new beginning to mobile computing. Soon came news that more tablets would flood the market by year end. No one believed. Now when the year is coming to an end, we see tablets launching every month from all major enterprises who either build smartphones or laptops. Why wouldn’t they? The tablet is an hybrid between a smartphone and a laptop. But, will it eat into either of their marketshare? The answer will come in the following years. A report from eMarketer does give some insight into what might happen. The report states that tablet sales are expected to increase from an estimated 15.7 million in 2010 to 81.3 million in 2012, giving it a growth of over 400%.

Cloud Computing nDesktop Powered by Nivio
2010-11-01 14:25:00 Don’t you just love it when a company sets out to do business with a noble cause in mind. Nivio, a Switzerland based tech company wants to educate 100 million children. The funny thing is, depending on which publication I looked at they seemed to have a slightly different mission. But I guess that’s just PR. Ubiquity and Affordability is Cloud Computing mantra and Nivio’s nDesktop gives you just that. A Windows based, online desktop that requires no client installation to run. The company offers a “low-cost semi-dumb terminal” which is capable of running a Windows OS. This can be used to connect to the nDesktop which does all the heavy duty processing on the cloud and server farms run by Nivio. Co-founder Saurabh P Dhoot stated that this model allows them to offer  a Cloud PC below INR 5000 and a Cloud Book under INR 14000. Thus providing cost effective computing that can be used by a typically cash strapped client base like  schools and small busine...

iDuple – Indian Company announces Mobile Cloud Computing Device
2010-10-26 09:00:00 iDuple, an Indian company has announced its intention to build a Mobile Cloud Computing Device on their blog. The Mumbai based startup already offers a paid service for they call ‘Webtops’ – a very windows looking system that runs in your browser. So the concept behind the Mobile Cloud Computing is simple – extend the webtop technology to a hand held device. On paper, the idea seems pretty interesting even though the finer details are not available at this time. The device has the form factor of a tablet and boasts of a 5 second boot time. There is no software, other than the browser. No hard disk either. All processing and storage will be done on powerful servers and rendered on the device. It is expected to have WiFi and 3G variants. Users will be offered upto 50GB of storage on the cloud, I’m guessing premium services for additional storage will be a source of revenue as well. Obviously, with a large volumes of data on the cloud, security becomes an...
