It gives you the mobility of using the same operating system from anywhere. The concept is to virtually present a pc with an operating system using your regular web browser. By default you will get a 3GB space upon signup. It actually consists of many web 2.0 applications in a single connected web operating system environment. I personally find it amazing and yes i would really like to see the future development of this product. Entirely powered by Adobe Flash, Javascript and Ajax brings you the streamlined web 2.0 operating system on your hand. It includes several games, powerful RSS reader, Youtube explorer, file manager, desktop applications and more.
