        <description><![CDATA[All this is useless ; basic things like CISCO VPN and office Proxy settings are missing and we call all these android mobiles Smart Phone? My earlier SE P990i was far superior in all respects. At least it had these basic features to be really called as &quot;SMART PHONE&quot;. In last year or so no one has been able to address these issues very surprising indeed.... good by Android and welcome iPhone ....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There is currently software that does this: Mojopac.  You can virutalise a desktop onto a thumbdrive/memory stick or HDD if you like.  The FREE version does everything a home user would want - the licence version does all the productivity software as well.]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[My take on all 3 ideas]]></title>
        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-338325-3387306]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[1. I actually would like a 15 inch screen (like a laptop without a keyboard) built specifically for architects and artists... Like a portable Microsoft Surface. I think it's a better idea than a tablet because of the screen estate. Tablets have the advantage that they can fit in a hand, but so do all the MID phones out there.2. I mentioned above something about application virtualization. I think the idea should be about having software, data and credentials on a portable device ready to be plugged (physically or virtually) in the device we use, giving to the virtualized app access to platform features as well as protected data. You will notice more and more the tendecy of virtualization sollutions to integrate with the native environments in order to gain the best of both worlds. Add cloud computing and Skynet will spell out doom.3. Ok you are already bored but bare with me on this last point. We already have this contextual or rather smart technology growing in the android landscape. And I believe that web technologies such as HTML5 combined with Flash/Silverlight(cause they aren't going to die just because of HTML5) are going to gain more coupling with portable devices such as phones and provide not only the features you just mentioned, but also features of a robotic virtual assistant. You may never need to spell check again...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Technologies like Smart Card can be used to login to an Active Directory server/service (or some other services) and are built in Windows ready to be configured. The only problem today is incorporating the required hardware and protecting from unauthorised authentication (somebody stealing the card). Why do you think many companies invest lots of $$$ into biometric sensors and other technologic security researches?Security is the sole reason cloud computing can't really take off and reign(or rain) over our computerhood. At least the concept of computer on a stick still implies a password.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-338325-3387301]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[I don't think people would want to get back to the terminal+mainframe era, and not because of privacy issues, but because of performances and latency. Also the step further in virtualization is not about hardware anymore it's about application virtualization, meaning you shouldn't think of it as a complete decoupling from the platform to make something portable, but as an abstract and intelligent coupling enabling people to actually use the same app with  different features on different machines.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-338325-3386736]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[Approximately 15 years ago or so Sun Microsystems created a sort of computer on a card the size of a credit card that held all of the user's credentials.  Instead of carrying around a laptop, all the user would have to do is swipe the card in a slot along the side of a monitor.  The user's applications, documents, etc. would be ready for use.  Dependencies were on PC hardware technology (credit card swiping was not common then), cloud computing (not known by that name then) and card technology, of course.Where did that concept go?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Astrid task-list manager app on the Android Market has an optional plug-in which co-operates with the Locale application (also on Android Market) in order to provide you with reminders about specific tasks depending on where you are located. e.g. if the phone detects that you are near your local supermarket it will alert you about your grocery shopping list.This looks to me pretty much exactly what you were asking for.The only potential weakness (and only by today's exacting standards) is that presumably you need to identify the locales yourself and associate each task you enter with the appropriate locale. Given the rapidity of &quot;Internet Time&quot; it should be less than a year before the emergence of services capable of automatically matching some of the items on your task list with appropriate locale types while continually scanning google maps service for nearby instances.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Computer on a stick? Why would you need a stick? The solution already exist and doesn't require a USB key, just ANY computer with a Remote Desktop Client (already available on Windows, Mac and Linux)...it's call Virtual Desktop Infrastructure or VDI. I'm implementing VDI now in 2010, so on this point you should say whish it get's implemented faster.Microsoft &amp; Citrix have a partnership on a VDI solution for XenDesktop with Hyper-V and it is much better and efficient than VMware View.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[If you're a DIYer, number two is already a possibility.  Places like Lifehacker have been advocating a &quot;PC on a stick&quot; for some time now.  Whether it's a suite of apps and data storage on a large, cheap USB stick or a bootable Linux USB stick, it's possible now.  Again, at Lifehacker there are all kinds of resources for portable apps and portability in general, from a user stand-point, for both Linux and Windows.And, I, too, long for a good tablet with a pen input at reasonable prices.  I'm sure they're coming, eventually, but, well, I want my personal jet-pack *right now*, too...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I have an android, so can't talk to iPhone (ptooie) or Win7/BBerry phones.Profiles is the name of a basic app where you can set up any setting on your phone into a profile, and one-touch change them.Locale (now sadly out of beta and pay-only) and Tasker (more fully-featured, free, but sadly less user-friendly) are two apps that can use any number of triggers (including built-in phone events, software-driven app-specific triggers, and 3rd-party-plugin-provided conditions) to change any setting on your phone, again including quite a few provided by the app or plugins that you usually don't have direct access to change.Tasker is also compatible with most Locale plugins, always a bonus!There's no condition I have ever wanted for my phone that I can't control with one of these.Rich]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Good ideas, all within reach. However, with number 2, I think the virtualization could taken a step further. Why not access the processing on the server so that you can insert your stick into a keyboard/monitor combination? No processor at all at the client. Think of the cost savings then!

        <description><![CDATA[Great one Patrick. I too am looking at something similar like the ones u hav mentioned above. I would be glad if i get a cell phone or an ipod with a camera which behaves just like the Hubbles space telescope, or something like a binocular which lets me watch the great shots of the Master Blaster at a cricket ground. I hope steve jobs would gift me an iphone or an itouch with these features atleast in 2011 ! ! !]]></description>
