With the announcement of Oracle Public cloud on 10th May 2011 Java goes on the Oracle cloud and is available as a service. So it seems that every thing is going to the CLOUD. Even the new iOS 5 is having iCloud and almost every data on the iDevice can be backed up to the iCloud and of course available across all apple devices. JDK 8 is also said to be concentrated towards Cloud computing. But having all this running on the cloud requires internet with quite good speeds. Cloud is nothing without the internet!. But the new 4G/LTE is arriving with higher speed than previous 3G. Cloud computing is going to be a HIT in the coming years. It seems in the coming future every one will be using a cloud someway or the other!
