Yanks Obsessed with Cloud Apps

Monday, July 26th, 2010

The U.K. government has spent tens of thousands of pounds developing iPhone applications, according to a recent news article. Specifically, the  Brits are spending between 10,000 and 40,000 pounds per application, and they’re aimed at citizens and should improve the way they get information from the government. For example, the U.K. government, otherwise known as Whitehall, is creating such projects as a travel advice application and a jobseekers’ app for the Foreign Office.  Also, there’s one called a “Quit Smoking” app and a “Drink Tracking” app — both costing around 10,000 pounds each.

These cloud apps help spread the good word and doing their part to bring savings and efficiencies to Brit taxpayers by increased use of the cloud.

AudioBox.fm Cloud Hosting Review

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Your media library in the cloud.

Has anyone checked out AudioBox.fm yet?  AudioBox.fm is a cloud based online music service that lets you upload your music collection and access it anywhere in the world (as long as you have service).  All I have to say about this online cloud hosting service…. AWESOME!

Today they have added the iPhone/iPod touch to its list of supported devices through a native application.  I’m pretty sure that they are going to be short lived because of Apple and their new data center that they are building.  Going on with that, I’m even more suprised that the soon to be cloud hosting giant allowed the AudioBox.fm iPhone app in the iTunes App Store considering it will be a cloud music competitor in the next few months.

I’ve been researching this a little over the past couple weeks, I have found that there are several services like this one.  There are several: mecanto.com, bitspace.at, psonar.com, moozone.com, and tunesbag.com (see TCEU coverage) and of course, MP3tunes.

AudioBox.fm is 100% FREE, with Pro accounts starting at $3.99.  If you want mobile app access, you will need to pay for the cloud music storage fees. AudioBox.fm was founded in December 2009, also claims to already be profitable.  We’ll see if that stays the same in the next year.  Hopefully they will because it’s a pretty rockin service. A+
