Cloud Computing Coming To iPhones/iPodTouch

IceWEB, Inc. A company that offers online storage, said in a press release today that it will begin to support the iPhone and iPod Touch. The new product will be called "IceShare" and will be available in the App Store for purchase individually or as a corporate license.

Shortly after IceShare was introduced, it was compared to Apple’s MobileMe, but it’s far too premature for a side-by-side analysis to size up the "competitors." It costs $99 per year and offers extra services such as email and a handy feature called “Find my iPhone,” which helps users find their lost iPhones through GPS. It will be interesting to see how IceWEB prices their service and how it differs from MobileMe.

Many industry analysts predict online storage services will become even bigger business this decade. As a result, IceWEB is hoping to capitalize on this perceived "demand" from consumers looking for new ways to store and access data as mobile users on the go. IceWEB's servers will provide iPhone and iPod Touch users "full access" to their important data. As you would imagine, users can open, download, upload, and create files over WiFi or 3G.
