The Personal Cloud — How Personal Computing Will Be Transformed By New Services And Behaviors
Location: TBA
Tuesday, October 19, 2010, 9:30 AM-10:00 AM
PCs, smartphones, and Web-based services create a fractured personal computing experience, with data and content scattered across diverse devices and online services. To solve this, service providers are building the next form of personal computing: the personal cloud ecosystem. Personal cloud services will include a combination of a data center cloud software platform, browser-based code to enable rich Web experiences, and device-level player or presentation code for richer experiences than the browser can provide. And they will create an ecosystem of complementary software and service providers on top of their own offerings.
