never really liked cloud storage idea. 16gb on my sgs2 plus my 32gb microsd is a lot more convenient, no need to be constantly connected to data. everything is readily available,

And won't it be a glorious experience, having blazing fast LTE on a cloud connected device. You'll be able to stream your movies and music in high definition from your cloud storage for three days, then you hit your data cap and wait 27 days to do it again!

I can certainly see the cloud being a major force, as evidenced by Win 8 and its sky drive offerings among others. But the thing I think that will hamper the extent to which the cloud will be effective is battery life. Regardless of the speed of the network, internal technology saving power with increased die shrinkage, the battery is the thing that is hurting long lasting connectivity on a massive scale.

If they can really put some serious effort into improving battery life beyond what is current today, the cloud will become more than just a standard, it will become a function of life.
