Instead of having more gadgets, using the mobile itself as a thin-client may serve the purpose. The IndiaINC 3G iceberg is yet to melt. With 3g and open OS platforms, stuffs can be done on the fly. I mean, you don't event need to plug-in your desktop or your laptop. Almost all activities other than programming / developing applications can be managed through your mobile.

The concern comes when you need a application and you don't get it on mobile. If you are technically fit, then you could have your own applications developed with the mobile toolkits and SDKs or request for such applications over mobile-marketplace.

The other aspect of going with WebOS is "THINKGREEN". Desktop computers consumes 60-330 Watts with CRT monitor and around 60-260 Watts for LCD monitors. This is the energy consumption of one house. Now imaging the consumptions of higher hierarchies.
Whereas a mobile would consuming max of 8-10 Watts. No-doubt using Mobile as a GUI for WebOS has more cons than pros, but this is one thing on which technologist should work on.

You should also check out Data Deposit Box for online data backup. It's inexpensive and very easy to use. It takes about 2 minutes to install the online backup agent. Once installed it's fully automatic with nothing to remember and no procedures to follow. You can access your online data storage easily with a web browser.

The time has come to end your backup and storage woes. With IBackup, you will get the best and optimum online solution to safely backup your critical data.

Even though there are a slew of `free online services’ offering gigabytes of space, the real story is something different. Many of them are just beta versions, have painfully slow downloads and have set download limits. But IBackup functions like a virtual storage drive accessible from anywhere in the world through the Internet. As it does both incremental and compressed backups, the amount of network bandwidth used is considerably less.

IBackup can perform one-way syncing of files or folders from your local computer to the IBackup account. Snapshots allow the user to see files stored in the IBackup account during the previous days. IBackup for Quicken performs near real time backup of your recently modified 'Quicken/ QuickBooks' files to your IBackup account.

IDrive is undoubtedly IBackup’s nifty application. IDrive maps your IBackup online account as a local drive on your computer and allows you to drag-and-drop, open, edit and save files in your online backup account, as if they were on your local machine.

None other than PC World has recently rated IBackup as the `best all-round backup’ service. Try their free trial without any delay.
