Dear Android developers Happy Holiday!
I am thinking about creating the following service aimed at android developers, and would love some feedback. I want to create a framework that allows you to create lightweight threads that are automatically run on beefy servers in the cloud rather than the device if the device is connected to a sufficiently fast network (3G, wifi etc). The benefits are: * Your users android device becomes an X core computer (where you determine X as you need). * Lower power consumption on the device, especially for long running background tasks. * Gracefully degrades to running the computation on the device if there isn't enough bandwidth to outsource it. * As a developer you don't need to develop your application any differently. * Bandwidth intensive tasks also benefit as the servers the code is run on are well connected to high speed networks. My questions to you are: * Does this sound interesting to you? * What sort of applications would you consider using it for? * Would you be willing to pay to use it? (pay for resources consumed by the threads). Thank you so much for taking the time to read thus far! If you have a comment I am even more grateful. If this sounds interesting to you, drop me an email, and I will keep you in the loop!
