Hi Guys! Again! I decided to just put my idea out there, and hopefully either I'll get flamed because someone else had the idea already, and I didn't know it was in the works, or two - it'll happen!
Now, I've had 5 android devices, and it is a PAIN to move from device to device. Now, I know that Goggle has a cloud infrastructure, and more than likely the most database experience on the planet right now, (sorry IBM/Oracle - Google manages a *LOT* of data for free!!). I don't think it would be too hard to push out an android update that syncs app info\configuration back to the cloud of behalf of the user. It would be GREAT to know that I can change phone/provider/country and when I sign into my android *device* (because this would be amazing on an android laptop!), I have the option to download all the apps that I had installed on my other devices, AND synchronise all the settings and configuration, without having to locate all the apps on Android Market, and then have to copy all my settings across. I did notice something using my android devices, that all my data on my device is pretty much synced with google, email, contacts, SMS (using an SMS backup app), google reader - it's only a matter of time before google docs gets full sync, and chrome syncs bookmarks with the browser. To have that functionality across multiple devices? ( As soon as an android based laptop comes out I will aquire/steal/buy one!) Laptop, Mobile Phone, and Desktops? When I'm on the move, my apps, my data - when I'm working remotely, like at a friends house, coffee shop, my apps, my data - and also when I get home, my apps, my data - all synced, with the devices, with the cloud, piece of mind assured. Oh, we would need remote kill switch, that only the user can activate - which has got me thinking, we'll need an Android portal, to help manage all the devices, like remotely installing apps on devices - maybe I'm at work, and I get wind of an awesome app, I go to my portal, find it, and assign it to my desktop, and my laptop - when I get home, I can use the app straight away, not needing to think of compatibility, or even availability ... okay, I'm going to stop talking now, I should be getting paid for these ideas -- GOOGLE!? You listening!? Have a great day, I hope to generate some conversation off the back of this, we can dream, right? -- All spelling mistakes are the results of transmission errors, or you can't read to good! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
