Portable devices to fuel Cloud Computing adoption

I am happy to see Laura doing well with her firm since Yankee Group yanked out a lot of analysts. Watch to what Laura has to say to Reuters:
Chances are the mobile phone tucked in your pocket, the lightweight laptop in your backpack, or the navigation system in your car are under a cloud.
That means much of your vital data is not just at your home, at the office or in your wallet, but can easily be accessed by hooking up to the huge memory of the Internet “cloud” with portable devices.
“There’s a lot of buzz about this. Everybody wants to be connected to everything everywhere,” said Laura DiDio, an analyst with Information Technology Intelligence Corp.
Cloud computing for mobile devices is taking off with the expansion of high-speed wireless networks around the world.
“You’re in a car driving someplace. Not only do you want directions, you want weather reports. You want know what are the best hotels around, where are the restaurants,” DiDio said.
That kind of information is available in cars — and most other places — via mobile phones, “netbook” laptops hooked up to wireless air cards and even high-end navigation systems.
