Why is the cloud so interesting now?
I can understand how the cloud will be cool in the future when network bandwidth is huge and cheap and everyone has it everywhere. But right now, bandwidth is not everywhere.
I can't imagine putting all my files on the iCloud, only to get slow access to them. Is mobile bandwidth really there already? The firm I work for only has a 10 mbps connection, how does that help us with the iCloud?
What happens when I drive from town to town and the only access I have is EDGE or none at all? No access to my files. That's lame. I will always want local, fast access to my files.
The Cloud has a lot to do before I believe in its claims.
