Risks and Benefits • Novel Aspects of this Project • The ability to use your Android device in the cloud. • The ability to easily share (very large) files between users. • Large computational tasks can be carried out on the cloud (rather than mobile device). • The ability to backup/restore files from and images of mobile devices. • Risks and Challenges • “Bricking” the mobile device while attempting to install/configure new software on it. • Working with technology, operating systems, and environments with which we are not very familiar. • Potential Applications and Benefits • Can be used on any Android powered mobile device. • Provides more power and accessibility to/for users by way of the cloud.
