Canonical’s Ubuntu One (http://one.ubuntu.com) launched this same service several months ago, works globally on Android and iOS – and already includes file syncing and sharing features.

It is exciting to see tech capitalism being put to the max.

I can’t wait for the numbers in the next 3-5 years for percentage of all global data that is online vs. hard drive.

I wouldn’t call the death of the hard drive too soon though. I could expect it to remain longer in some companies, while others, like Amazon, make a jump into the unknown. The government will probably be slower on the curve, but what about an idea where departments have all their data in one central storage network using the same concept. The application is endless, it requires go-getters like Amazon to go out on a limb with inovation.
