Iomega launched a new service, Personal Cloud Technology, through which users can connect their Iomega network storage device to another individual or device via the internet. Iomega claims that the technology is completely self owned, which means that content and accessibility is always under user control. There are no usage fees or subscription charges. Iomega Director of Sales for India and SAARC, Praveen Sahai says that when users have two or more of their NAS products, they can remotely backup their onsite data to an alternate location including the office, home etc. This gives users a disaster recovery plan.

The Iomega Personal Cloud can be set up by naming your Personal Cloud and then confirming the set up of the technology. Users can invite upto 250 member devices into their Personal Cloud, including friends, family, co-workers etc, and files can be copied and shared directly between computers as though they were on the same network.

Paddy does not, we repeat, definitely does NOT belong in the category of Mac-head (yeh right!). She does get excited by her iPhone and her iMac and her iPod Nano and her Macbook and Bali's iPad and her future iHouse (patent pending). Ok, so maybe her head is a little bit forbidden fruit shaped. She likes shooting video (iPhone 4 camera zindabad!) and editing montages (Final Cut Pro zindabad!), whether the scene calls for it or no. In her spare time, she's either kicking it on stage with KB the keyboard or kicking butt at Taekwondo.
