Netbooks, iPhone and other Mobile devices to make Cloud Computing reality!

And faster than you can imagine. My last keynote was a jab at the rapidly changing landscape where global economy, globalization, low-cost requirements and high ROI is driving all of us to have all the mundane things being done inside the cloud.

We want to do cool stuff and forget about the rest. All a typical and even a high-end consumer needs to know is:

You pay $ 29.95 / month and you have:

- TV (gazillion channels but get started with a lighter version of the channel service)
- Internet (actually this is the new cloud platform or intenet 2.0 on which ou get it all)
- *Products (Maps, Apps, ...) - Basic edition
and lots more (product development folks can define a billion services around this delivery model)
- Device (Netbook, iPhone, Android-ready appliance etc)
- *More cooler accessories such as Bose stuff

* = Pay options could vary here.

Anyways this post says it all in a different tone as well.

The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
