Maybe I'm misunderstanding: but if you sync-on-read, the user still has to wait for the file to be downloaded if it's not synced up already. So maybe another model would be sync-on-save for those items that are appropriate for the device and that the user wants to have quick access to (whether because they've "favorited" them or via some other manual or automatic mechanism), coupled with sync-on-read for everything else?
- jasonlotito 16y agoYeah, I forgot to mention forcing a push downstream. But honestly, I don't thing that's important. Sync-on-Read is what you do now on the web. I click on a video on YouTube, and in seconds, I'm watching an HD video full screen. I think the only hurdle is upload speeds offered by most ISP's is slower than download speeds. But even still, outside of HD videos, all the files I'd be interested in are quick downloads (pictures, documents, music).
