Don't have a laptop? Try the virtual computer!
Ismail and Ansar, along with three other classmates, have already won a project from a local software company on behalf of a Gulf-based airline to develop a system to make flight schedule information available on mobile phones.
"If a parent wants to ascertain the score of his child he can access it directly from his home. For employers who are on the lookout for talent, this database could be a good source. We are also planning a virtual classroom. Eighty percent of the work on this is complete," he added.

Comment 5: I think what bloxtr is doing is using an open source operating system eyeOS on the website.. if u login into the website, u can check that even the name is not changed and will show eyeOS for most of the application. check eyeOS.org , there is a demo available on the website.. I have install this application on my own site www.amitkothari.com/eyeOS/ .. I'm not sure what is so specially about bloxtr. anyone can download and run this OS.. and its not developed by Ansar or Ismail....Please visit eyeOS.org for details

Comment 8: Hello Ismail and Ansar,
Thanks for your idea-a novel one indeed. It really works if implemented well. But it is novel to the Indian market only. I would like to ascertain that, what you term as Virtual Compter is not really, a computer, but a kind of storage device, as it stands now (from what I read from your blog). You may atmost call it a VHDD (Virtual Hard Disk Drive) or Virtual Drive or Virtual Storage Device as it stands now. The concept of Virtual Computer has been around since atleast a year, when engineers in US (and also India) have fabricated what they called a Web PC. This is really a Virtual Computer, requiring no external CPU box (I mean a physical device) and monitor (of course, some display has to be there, even a TV will suffice). This means anyone given access can work on it from anywhere like they now browse on Internet. They will not need a physical PC anymore. This is the real Virtual Computer.
The idea of wireless-enabling your concept is very good, and turning it into an application is a very good way of doing it. It will be something like a Wi-Storage, or Wi-S for simple. To turn YOUR concept into a Virtual Computer requires a lot more work that just concentrating on storage alone, you have to add the power of Wi-Computing or Physical-device-less computing with ALL the capabilities of a PC or laptop or palmtop.
A lot of literature is already on the Web regarding the Web-PC (the Web-TV was already in place atleast 4 years ago in US alteast). These ideas may help in innovating your project into a VC.
Good Luck and hope to see your breakthrough soon!
