They are two sides of the same coin. What use (aside from the incredibly useful feature of making actual phone calls) is a smartphone if there aren't services in the cloud that account for the "smart" part?
- rayiner 12y agoLots of use, unless we're lumping the internet and e-mail into "the cloud." I'm quite happy to have my photos stored locally, my e-mails and documents handled by my company's exchange server, etc.
- jbigelow76 12y agoI think unless you or your company is managing their own email servers then yes, email is now "cloud".
- rayiner 12y agoDon't most large companies still manage their own e-mail servers?
- jbigelow76 12y agoSure, but what about everyone else? What's the worldwide install base for smartphones these days, several hundred million if not a billion or more? For all those people that don't work for large companies and their email is synonymous with the cloud.
