Cloudworks sounds dreamy

Cloudworks has just launched its "webtops" product line that enables employees to work virtually anywhere, as long as their computer is able to access the service.

No wonder it's called Cloudworks, it's a virtual dream for any mobile employee or freelance contractor.

Webtops will be able to access all of a company's applications, data and emails with lightning speed through nearly any browser from a secure, managed data center.

The "webtops" solutions for small businesses can be priced from as low as $595 monthly for five users or $995 with a dedicated server, while rnterprise-level packages for companies with over 100 employees are completely customized.

Seeing is believing.

    AT&T TV ... abc, easy as 123

    May 5 is a very crucial date for AT&T, as the company will begin offering their mobile TV service to 58 markets in the US, which include Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego, Seattle and Washington, DC and more.

    Acronyms galore!

    AT&T will be offering TV programs produced by leading US news and entertainment brands including CBS Mobile, ESPN Mobile, Fox Mobile, NBC 2Go among others.

    A $15 per month Basic package will give customers unlimited access to Mobile TV and AT&T’s exclusive special concert channel, CNCRT. In addition, there is a limited basic package which costs $13 a month, this package will give you access to only four channels though - CBS Mobile, FOX Mobile, NBC 2Go and NBC News 2Go.

    If they're all about expanding and have the money to do so, then I suggest they have better training programs for their customer service reps.

    Tiny pictures, giant revenue

    Tiny Pictures is a privately held company based in San Francisco. And for something devoted to being tiny, they are certainly making BIG money.

    Press release for ya:

    Tiny Pictures operates the mobile photo and video sharing service Radar, which lets members comment on each others camera-phone snapshots. Radar serves up 15 million mobile photos a month worldwide. Last November, the company introduced advertising in the form of public photo streams that movie studios and other companies try to get people to pay attention to. Blacked Eyed Peas singer will.i.am recently joined the company's advisory board.

    As an advisor to the company, will.i.am will collaborate closely with Tiny
    Pictures to promote his many creative projects through the Radar Gallery,
    which offers subscription-based content in-line with Radar users' personal
    content streams.

    Mobile startup Tiny Pictures secured a $7.2 million series B financing from Draper Fisher Jurvetson.

    Gadget of the day is Space Station

    "An extended desk organizer for laptop users with internal coiling pins conceals all the cords that usually sprawl over the desk. Hovering just 5mm above the desk, cords are free to enter or exit the hub at any point – on the side to connect a scanner, the front for an iPod, the back for a laptop or camera. An internal 4-port USB hub will keep all peripherals connected. One USB plug exits the station right where needed to connect a laptop. Just tip the front of the SpaceStation up to access the hub and cords."

    Yuuguu

    No, I'm not having speech problems (though I wouldn't blame you for wondering) Yuuguu is the name of a demo launching in the UK which will allow more than just desktop sharing, it will also allow the sharing to go mobile.

    "Yuuguu, a name apparently derived from the Japanese word for fusion, enables users to see, share, and control other computer screens and applications."

    Their site states the application was built because the company recognizes the changing world of work. Many people check their e-mail from their iPhone or Blackberry. So now they can actually work on their work desktop computer from a mobile gadget. Through any firewall, across platforms and with as many colleagues as needed.
