This is the killer app - the home cloud, otherwise known as the "HC". So we would pay a monthly bill to our "cloud" utility, rather a subscription, to hold all our data up there, allowing our individual devices to be interchangeable...delivering on the promise of the Internet and finally doing away with paper, perhaps. It can't come fast enough for me - but first there needs to be a fleshing out of competitors and organizing of infrastructure to provide it. I can see even further, where we all have one device, like a more sophisticated "Chumby" where all our communication and media needs are available. We plug in our codes and view our saved TV programs, play lists, email, blogs on a stationary device where-ever we are - the hardware won't matter. They'll be available like ATM machines, perhaps even with the smart card swipe to give us access. In the meantime, I'm waiting for the CherryPal C100 to come out. I am excited about how the CherryPal can bridge barriers to people who have not had access to computers or the internet because of money, fear, education or other challenges. I will be commenting on my experience of using it on my blog as soon as I get my own CherryPal C100! You can use CODE CPP206 to get your own CherryPal for $10 less than purchase price at Paypal when they are shipping (soon!) The best update I've gotten on availability is that the delay is due to a last minute decision to upgrade the solid state storage to a faster, higher quality version than planned. The hardware is working perfectly but the software requires some tweaks to fully optimize the OS to the new hardware. I think its worth the wait as there is nothing else available at the price point of $239 (using code CPP206). Come visit http://cherrypal.blogspot.com for updates I don't work for the company, just an anticipated fan with interests in cloud computing, green washing, and cheap, reliable connectivity.
