Mobile + Cloud = Delight

Theory #1: Mobile will overtake desktop and laptop computing in the next 10 years. The leapfrog effect will leave personal computing in the dust as you're able to do everything from your phone.

Theory #2: Cloud computing really will work. (check)

If these two things happen, and we're headed in the right direction today, then it isn't hard to imagine a "cloudwerk" of unused mobile processing power (and even storage space) that creates a resilient cloud computing platform. How much unused storage space is out there, just counting iPhones?

There are two (obvious) major bottlenecks - network bandwidth and mobile provider compartmentalization. Each major provider has their own subscriber base and proprietary infrastructure. That's why something like broadband spectrum service is so appealing; it could jump over the fractured mobile provider battle and leap right into Cloud 2.0 - "always on" mobile devices with enough storage space and computing power to be their own cloudmesh.

Things will most likely slide towards each mobile provider creating their own "minicloud" of apps and infrastructure that will take longer to mature and collaborate, but Google keeps pushing towards a broader solution that could supersede the fractured fighting.
