    is there such a thing? Something like a sky drive application available for blackberry? Something like this would be absolutely amazing! The ability to access all your computers files and be able to download/edit them from my berry!
    That would most definitely be the best app ever.

    Its kind of like a hard drive on the internet. Files can be accessed from any computer and edited/saved (in this case I want to do it from my blackberry). I mainly want to do this for microsoft office files, but it would be cool for photos/music/other files as well. I know those are bigger but maybe I could stream my music library over Wi-fi or something?

    The easiest thing I can thing of would be to get an account for Amazon's S3 (the service all those other online providers use as a backend) along with some cheap hosting that allows PHP content. With the Tarzan framework it would take about 20 lines of PHP to create a file browser (in fact, the demo on the Tarzan site shows how to do just that).

    BTW... Cloud Computing is about a lot more than storage.

    You are right, cloud computing is a lot more than storage. So are you saying that cloud storage access would be possible from a blackberry?

    Access to stored files already on S3 would be pretty easy through a web browser. A stand-alone app would be more difficult as I'm not familiar with programming for a BB.

    Cloud computing is about sharing idle processing power and other resources in order to accomplish large scale tasks. Even after a few more generations of advances, I'm not sure I'd want to share the limited resources of my BB with the "cloud". Perhaps I don't have enough imagination to see the desirability of this.
