Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco Systems, EMC Corporation, Microsoft, NetApp, Nokia Siemens Networks, PLDT/Smart, Rackspace, REACH, Telenor, and Verizon, today announced they have formed Asia Cloud Computing Association (Asia Cloud), an open collaboration forum based in the Asia Pacific region.
The non-profit, vendor-neutral organization will address regional issues and challenges to adoption of cloud computing in Asia including privacy and security concerns, compliance and regulatory mandates, licensing models, service levels, and other market risks.
The research firm IDC estimates that the market for cloud computing in Asia outside Japan will grow to around US$1.3 billion this year and will continue to expand at a rate of approximately 40 percent a year until 2014 (Source: IDC, 2010), whereas in Japan, currently the second largest IT market globally, the cloud computing market is expected to grow to US$29.2 billion in 2015 (Source: Japan�s Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry 2010). However, security concerns, data storage regulations, low penetration of bandwidth in some countries, and government policies oriented to traditional computing models are inhibiting market growth.
�Cloud adoption in the Asia Pacific region has yet to reach its full potential. The regulatory landscape and varying market maturity levels have fragmented the adoption of cloud computing in the region,� noted Asia Cloud chairman and REACH chief information officer, Sundi Balu. �Organizations in Asia have voiced several concerns, particularly around security, service levels, and regulatory positions. There is a strong sense of urgency to have these concerns resolved by an open industry collaboration focused on the actual market realities and conditions in Asia. With Asia Cloud as a platform, key stakeholders can collaborate on issues specific to Asia and enable faster and more efficient adoption of cloud computing.�
The organization will evaluate global cloud standards produced by other industry associations and determine which can be adapted or advocated regionally. Initial working groups include those for public policy and regulatory issues, security, taxonomy, and carrier-grade applications. Anticipated deliverables for 2011 include best practices, a cloud-readiness index, development of a taxonomy, and the establishment of formal relationships with other organizations in cloud computing.
�Cloud computing will play a fundamental role in re-shaping how telecommunications service providers offer applications to end users and how their internal systems are implemented,� said Mike Murphy, initiator of the Carrier-Grade Cloud Computing Working Group and head of Technology APAC, Nokia Siemens Networks. �Asia Cloud Computing Association is a great vehicle for industry leaders to direct that re-shaping in a consistent manner.�
Asia Cloud welcomes computing service, hardware, and software providers, end users, and government/policy, research/academic organizations to join the effort. More information about Asia Cloud and a membership prospectus are available at www.asiacloud.org.

Motorola Mobility Files Patent Infringement Complaints Against Microsoft
LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. � Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) announced that its subsidiary, Motorola Mobility, Inc. has filed complaints against Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) with the U.S. District Courts for the Southern District of Florida and the Western District of Wisconsin alleging infringement of sixteen patents by Microsoft�s PC and Server software, Windows mobile software and Xbox products.
The Motorola patents directed to PC and Server software relate to Windows OS, digital video coding, email technology including Exchange, Messenger and Outlook, Windows Live instant messaging and object oriented software architecture. The Motorola patents directed to Windows mobile software relate to Windows Marketplace, Bing maps and object oriented software architecture. The Motorola patents directed to Xbox relate to digital video coding, WiFi technology, and graphical passwords. Motorola Mobility has requested that Microsoft cease using Motorola's patented technology and provide compensation for Microsoft's past infringement.
Kirk Dailey, corporate vice president of intellectual property at Motorola Mobility, said, �Motorola�s R&D and intellectual property are of great importance to the Company and are renowned worldwide. We are committed to protecting the interests of our shareholders, customers and other stakeholders and are bringing this action against Microsoft in order to halt its infringement of key Motorola patents. Motorola has invested billions of dollars in R&D to create a deep and broad intellectual property portfolio and we will continue to do what is necessary to protect our proprietary technology.�
Mr. Dailey noted that Microsoft also has filed separate patent infringement litigation against Motorola. �It is unfortunate,� he said, �that Microsoft has chosen the litigation path rather than entering into comprehensive licensing negotiations, as Motorola has mutually beneficial licensing relationships with the great majority of technology companies industry-wide.�

Suited and booted: business smarts for Nokia smartphones
GLOBAL � As a part of its ongoing strategic alliance with Microsoft, Nokia today announced an update on the deployment of Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync on Nokia smartphones. The solution, which allows mobile users direct access to email accounts on Microsoft Exchange servers, is now available through more than 550 different operators worldwide ?including America Movil, Orange, Telecom Italia, Telefonica, TeliaSonera, T-Mobile and Vodafone.
Corporate customers are attracted to the Nokia solution because it can offer substantially lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to competing services. This is because businesses don�t need additional servers and middleware to support the service and are able to choose between a wider range of data tariffs.
JCDecaux, for example, Europe�s biggest outdoor advertising agency, used to have just 14 per cent of its employees with access to mobile email and calendaring. Today, thanks to the Nokia/Microsoft solution, TCO has been lowered, while access is up to 100 per cent, and employees can be much more responsive to customers and each other while they�re out and about.
OnMobile is ?India�s largest white label data and value-added services company for mobile, landline and media service providers. In the six months since moving to Mail for Exchange to give its engineers mobile email, the company has reported ?substantial time savings, a 20 per cent increase in projects completed on time and a 30 per cent decrease in travel expenses.
?Mail for Exchange comes preinstalled on the latest Nokia smartphones. As a downloadable client, it�s available for many other S60 3rd and 5th edition devices from Ovi Store, including all Eseries and Nseries devices. ?

Nokia-Microsoft� Exchange ActiveSync� direct access email boosting global businesses
Nokia business smartphones, maps and apps enhance the enterprise experience.
Espoo, Finland - Nokia gave an update on the deployment of Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync for Nokia smartphones that shows it is gaining substantial traction among the world's biggest operators and enterprises.
The solution - which delivers direct, secure access to email and personal information via organizations' Microsoft Exchange servers - is now available for Nokia smartphones on more than 550 operator networks worldwide. These operators include America Movil, Orange, Telecom Italia, Telefonica, TeliaSonera, T-Mobile and Vodafone. And recently, the solution has undergone large-scale deployment at leading enterprises such as JCDecaux and OnMobile, which have been attracted to its dramatically improved efficiency and significantly lower cost compared to rival solutions.
Through joint activities targeted at enterprises, Nokia and operators are bringing operational efficiencies and substantial savings in total cost of ownership (TCO) for IT decision makers, when compared to other solutions.
At JCDecaux, Europe's largest outdoor advertising company, just 14 percent of its mobile users in the UK had access to mobile email and calendar functions. The company was looking to extend that functionality to more of its workforce, in a way that was cheaper than the existing solution and without issues such as managing additional servers. JCDecaux chose Nokia's solution, which - in combination with attractive data tariffs from Vodafone Global Enterprise - led to a reduction in TCO, increased the company's responsiveness to customers and raised mobile email access for company mobile users to 100 percent.
OnMobile, India's largest white label data and value-added services company for mobile, landline and media service providers, was able to speed up processes, cut response time and save money by introducing Nokia's solution. Also, given that part of its workforce was already using Nokia smartphones, it was easy to set up Mail for Exchange without extra cost. In addition, monthly mobile data charges were substantially lower for the Nokia solution, and this encouraged users of a rival solution to switch. In the six months following the deployment, OnMobile reported substantial time savings for engineers, a 20 percent increase in projects completed on time and a 30 percent decrease in travel expenses.
"IT directors are being pressured to deploy business mobility solutions such as email, IM and intranet access for more employees, but without the high costs they have had to spend on additional middleware, licenses and maintenance," said Ilari Nurmi, the head of marketing for Nokia's portfolio of Eseries business smartphones.
The solution enables employees to connect directly to the corporate mail server with their Nokia smartphone without the need for additional servers, and is fast becoming the solution of choice for businesses. In addition to accessing email, employees also enjoy direct access to corporate instant messaging through Microsoft� Communicator Mobile, which was the first new application to be delivered by the two companies as part of their strategic alliance announced last year.
"Nokia is doing more than any other handset company to help businesses go mobile. Microsoft will design and develop mobile productivity, communication and collaboration solutions, and we will jointly bring them to market - giving our smartphones the edge over the competition," Nurmi continued.
The Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync solution is supported by a wide range of Nokia smartphones available with different designs and prices, covering the entire business user market. In the first half of 2010, more than 12 million Nokia Eseries business smartphones were shipped, representing a growth of more than 50 percent compared to the first half of 2009. Nokia's line-up of business smartphones is to be strengthened by the arrival of the Nokia E7, equipped with a full keyboard and 4-inch touchscreen featuring Nokia ClearBlack technology for improved outdoor visibility.
In addition to access to corporate email and infrastructure, Nokia smartphone users also enjoy access to maps, navigation, download apps and access other services through Ovi. The popularity of Business category apps in the Ovi Store, such as Worldmate, F-Secure Anti-Theft for Mobile, Boingo and Bloomberg, has significantly increased with some of the top downloading countries including France, Germany, India, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the UK.

Free iPhone App for Microsoft Office - Possibly in the works
Web-based Office edition not coming this yearThe smartphone market is booming thanks to mobile devices like the iPhone and the Blackberry. As other segments of the market are in decline, the smartphone market continues to grow in part because the average smartphone offers multiple functionalities in one device.
Users of most smartphones can access the internet, check email, and view/ edit Office documents. This capability allows the smartphone to do things that required a mobile phone and a laptop not too long ago.
One of the key things that many users of the iPhone are clamoring for is something that many other smartphones already have -- the ability to edit documents from Microsoft Office. EWeek reports that Microsoft's Stephen Elop, President of Microsoft Business Division, hinted at the Web 2.0 conference that an Office application for the iPhone might be in the works.
Office document editing capability is one of the things that Elop says Microsoft recognizes as a demand from the smartphone market. Tim O'Reilly asked Elop directly if that means the software giant is working on a version of Office for the iPhone. Elop replied, "Not yet�keep watching."

Microsoft Has a Free iPhone App in the App Store
Seadragon has been implemented as the "Deep Zoom" feature of Silverlight
Microsoft apparently has �deep� feelings towards the iPhone (or Apple), as the company behind the Windows OS has released a free iPhone app, and a cool one at that. Immediately available for download from the iTunes App Store, Seadragon Mobile lets iPhone and iPod touch users zoom in as deep as possible on high quality images with near zero transition times.
Microsoft's app makes it possible for users to �browse large quantities of high-resolution imagery smoothly and quickly with a flick or a pinch,� according to the iTunes App Store description. �Explore massive galaxies, pore over maps, or flip through collections of photographs, all over the air,� says the Windows maker.
You can also add your own photos, or browse some that are already available on the official Photosynth website. For example, you can grab a picture of Times Square at night and try to spot anyone who might have been picking their nose at the time the photo was taken.
The app's main features, as Microsoft points out, include the ability to view thousands of images over the air, view massive gigapixel pictures, explore Photosynth collections in 2D (including your own), add your own PhotoZoom / Deep Zoom Composer content, and even an RSS feed service.

The iPhone is hard to escape. Love it or hate it, the little device has invaded pop culture in a big way. While most people might not know the ins and outs of the tech industry and its latest products, they know the iPhone -- it has reached household name status.
At a recent developers forum, Intel employees publically insulted the iPhone, saying, "Any sort of application that requires any horse power at all and the iPhone struggles."
