I'm guessing?

The process of synchronizing with everything. More than a year ago, I formulated the "principle of continuity of life, and in early June 2009, ASUS introduced at Computex 2009 concept of continuous digital life.
The fourth line of thought of the concept this way: "... a continuous flow of data to synchronize your PDA, mobile phones, personal computers and laptops. Thus, the user can work with the file, and an edited version of this file will appear as a result of sync on all devices.
And that's what I mean by "the principle of continuity of life."
"The typical office scene near future. You talk in the office with a colleague (partner, customer, boss). In the midst of dialogue, glances at his watch and gets up from his chair, continuing the conversation as if nothing had happened. Your interlocutor did not offended: he acts the same way dozens of times a day. Stepping out the door, you push a specially programmed button on your phone. In the office you left behind included "video wall". Through its audiopodsistemu you will communicate your colleague (customer, partner), and you with him - through the stereo. After 300 meters, and took his place in a free automatic car, you press the same magic button on the smartphone. In the car lights "video wall" at full height, and your colleague (partner, client, boss) - again next to you, like four minutes ago. A few seconds later you will forget that separated high-definition video.
After the conversation (and the car - still on the way), you make a few videovizitov in friendly companies - in this case during the negotiations on a fragment of "video wall" will automatically be loaded from a smartphone documentation relevant to the contact.
As you can see, all communication devices is easy, semi-sync with reality and with each other. This is - a necessary condition for the principle of continuity of life. All that is required from the user - to authorize the automatic switching from device to device, with service on the service (or not authorize). At the same time to continue work / communication / entertainment literally at the push of a button "principle is important. It logically follows from the idea of continuity of life that the poor are compatible all the current lengthy "Connect", "logins", "Reconfiguration Service", "download applications and files", etc.
... Developer of entertainment services will take care of synchronization of the devices even before the creators of business services. And the user ... to stretch our legs a short walk to my apartment, will be able to push a button to continue the games or watching movies at home - from the very place where he stopped at the end of the trip. "
For corrosive readers who for some reason are not ready to rejoice with me, will clarify: the original post was published in my LJ May 13, 2008, as evidenced by its "frozen copy of" the service Webcitation.org.
And yet the comfort of company ASUS, which embodies the wishes of their consumers!

Well, as I understand Asus says more modest things: for the most part on the synchronization of documents between computers. And in this they are not innovators.
ASUS has said two key words: "continuity" and "synchronization". And it is a word or two with iron logic will lead (and, I think, and have led) engineers and marketers to the idea of synchronization technology on different devices, not only files but also the communications and entertainment, etc. Language of our controls us.
It really was very intelligent and correct assumption. And most important - early. Moreover, it is talking about ASUS - this is the first step towards getting what you say. They put emphasis on the synchronization information, and you - processes
PS I rejoice with you

And here is the latest quote "in the subject" from a recent interview with the Computerworld Sybase CEO John Chen :
"- What new products can we expect from you as the concept of a wireless enterprise"?
- This may be the organization of interaction and build social networks by holding teleconferences. When initiating a teleconference, you one-click connect and provide other access to shared data in real time. All this will be a single mechanism. The developed technology will now automatically switch the call from your cell phone to IP-phone is installed on your desktop. In fact, communication and computers become inseparable. See, HP buys 3Com, and Cisco intends to expand its server business. "
By the way, and the concept of "three screens and the clouds" Microsoft could also get the above possibilities.
