Thoughts on the Cr-48, cloudbooks, and the future of Chrome OS

This is a very well written review with a refreshing focus on generating sharing novel ideas. I have been using a Cr-48 since January and my observations are similar. I need to write a review at some point.

I really like the idea at the end of separating the data custodian role from the web app provider role. This has been mentioned for medical records elsewhere. All of a sudden I realize what Vint Cerf was talking about at Stanford: the lack of APIs between cloud services is a real problem: how can google docs retrieve your document from S3, do things to it, and put it back? What about version control of that document? Should versioning go with the doc?
