Traveling this time of year with the cloud is so nice!

Through the holidays I've been traveling quite a bit and I don't know what I'd be doing in the car on a long trip with out my smart phone and the web. (of course I'm not driving)   Mobile computing is becoming more dependent on the services that are available from the cloud because you don't always have your computer with you and you may need to access information that is important and requires urgent attention.
  

Smart phones and netbooks are really convenient pair of devices from a mobility stand point.  You can get to almost anything you need from just about anywhere with a smart phone and a netbook. With a data plan on my smart phone (a Nokia E71) I can get Google maps and directions just about anywhere.  If I need to do some serious web surfing, I can plug my phone into my netbook and use the phone as a modem to get to about everything I need.  It's not so good for watching Youtube or other videos, but it works well with most other content. (I find myself watching videos on my phone because they seem to run faster with the lower connection speed than the netbook). Mobility is better than ever with cloud computing.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
