Abstract :
The Cloudberry project has built a novel HTML5-based cloud phone—a mobile device in which all the device´s user functionality is downloaded and cached dynamically from the Web, including all the applications and even the entire top-level user interface. One of the most central benefits of a cloud phone is that nearly any of its customer-facing features can be changed on millions of devices all over the world almost instantly. This will shorten application and service deployment and update life cycles significantly. From the user´s perspective, the key benefit is multiple device ownership: the ability to access the same applications and data effortlessly from different devices without tedious installation, data copying, or synchronization hassles.
