Cloud9 – The Future of Mobile Computing and Communcations

For those of us who are already drooling as we wonder what the second generation Kindle might look like, with its free unlimited wireless-anywhere internet, there may still be time to help Amazon, Asus, and all the rest to make the device we really want.

I’m talking about the future of computing and communications in general.  Unlimited communications, voice, video, media, info, correspondence, reference, entertainment, productivity…. everything in one beautifully simple gadget.  Beyond UMPC, Beyond Netbooks.

Introducing the Cloud9

The First Fully Featured Cloud Computer and Personal Communications Device

Cloud9 will replace your laptop, cell phone, and all your portable media devices with one tiny computer.

Brand New Form Concept

Cloud9 is thin, lightweight, and hard to break.  Not needing any on-board HD, the Cloud9 is the ultimate cloud computer: a multi-touch tablet screen with a WiFi connection.  The Cloud9 is inexpensive to produce, which makes it light on the wallet, and it has everything you need.

Take a look at these special features.

Ingenious New Screen

It has a special dual-layer screen: one layer is a traditional color LCD screen, the other layer, a thin transparent surface on top of your LCD is an E-Ink display, like the Kindle uses.  When you’re watching videos online or browsing the web, you can see it in full color just like you have on any laptop.  BUT when you prefer to just read text, an e-book, or want to save power by browsing in black-and-white, you switch off the LCD to activate the E-Ink display instead.  Now you can look at text, browse the web, or read E-books more comfortably.  With no backlight, an E-Ink display is more gentle on the eyes, and is just as clear when you use it in direct sunlight.

Extended Battery Life

Since you’re not using that battery-draining backlit LCD display all the time, your battery life just became 10 times longer.  Now you can continue to use your Cloud9 for DAYS without charging!  And with intermittent or light use, the Cloud9 can function for weeks on a single charge.

Universal Wireless Connection

Using high-speed cellular networks, you have wireless access anywhere you go.  Also, it uses the “white spaces” of bandwidth recently opened by the FCC, giving WiFi the boost in speed and coverage we’ve all been waiting for.

Free from the Limits of Hard Disk Space!  – Unlimited Online Access to Media and Content

Access movies, music, documents, and reference materials anytime over the internet through free services such as YouTube, Hulu, LastFM, Pandora, GoogleDocs, Project Guttenberg, and everyone else on the Web.  Now that we have the bandwidth to  stream content, why not stream ALL OF IT?

Accessing a document from Google Docs is as easy as logging in to your email.  You can watch the latest episode of The Daily Show or Heroes just by surfing over to Hulu.  If the iTunes Store already knows which songs you’ve purchased, why shouldn’t those songs be digitally available to your via the Net at any time?  A web-based iTunes interface would allow you to play your music anywhere over your WiFi internet connection.  If you prefer free unlicensed access to your music, just log on to your account with Pandora or LastFM internet radio.

With all of your media stored online, which you can access from anywhere, there’s no limit to your digital storage in the Cloud9.

Your Cloud9 will never complain to you that it doesn’t have enough disk space for your files, because it doesn’t need any space at all.

The Online Desktop and OS

The Cloud9 is hardwired to simply turn on and access all of your content through your personalized “online desktop”, which looks and acts just like the operating system on your computer, but enhanced with customizable widgets or hyperlinks of your choice.  Browse folders, open and modify your content, run programs, and do everything you can do with your laptop or desktop computer. And your Cloud9 Desktop is available just by logging in from any Cloud9 or any other computer with an internet connection.

Communications

EMAIL: Access your email by a simple click of the “Mail” icon on your desktop. You can use the online interfaces of Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, or any others, as well as mail clients such as Thunderbird.

Text Messages and Instant Chat: Use any chat program to send messages through Gmail Chat, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, AOL, AIM, ICQ, IRC, Skype, Pidgin, MySpace, Facebook, QQ, and all the rest.

Cellular Phone: With a bluetooth headset, use the Cloud9 as your cell phone; making local, long distance, and even international calls – often for FREE - by VOIP internet based telephone technologies, such as Skype, Jajah, and Yahoo Messenger.

Video Chat: With the built in webcam, Cloud9 can provide simple and free Video calls via any of the online video chat services, including Skype, Google Chat, MSN Messenger, etc.

Security and Privacy

You decide which of your files should be encrypted before being stored online, and they will be kept encrypted until they reach your Cloud9, then the file becomes readable.

Charging and Connectivity

The Cloud9 has two ports: both of them mini-USB ports.  No more price-gouging with proprietary chargers or connection cables. Either of the two ports can be used to charge the Cloud9, and both of them can also be used to connect with other devices, such as computers, mp3 players, cellular phones, and PDAs.  This way, you can move MP3s, datebook and organizer data, and contact info onto your webspace so that you can access them from anywhere using any Cloud9 device or any other computer with an internet connection.

Rent a Cloud9 for Temporary Use

The Cloud9 is inexpensive to produce and very durable.  And your content is available to you from any/every Cloud9 device, just by logging in.  If you forgot to bring your Cloud9 with you on a trip, just stop by any electronics store.  By swiping your credit card or leaving a deposit, you can rent a Cloud9 and enjoy access to all of your content, and all of the internet.  When you’re done, simply return the Cloud9 to the rental place or put it into the postage-pre-paid Cloud9 Rental Envelope and drop it in any mail box.  Its just as easy as returning a DVD to Netflix or Blockbuster.

  2. Google is on board. I’m sure they thought of it first, but I publicized it first (well, after countless sci-fi writers).

  3. Actually, I’m still ahead until someone makes a multi-touch tablet version. Basically, Ipad + Chromebook + Kindle (for the e-ink) = Cloud9
