Cloud computing has been a buzz word for a while now. Leaders in the space would be companies like Google, Salesforce, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. Most of the product based companies are shifting thier strategy from desktop products to their online versions. Some are in B2C and others are in B2B world. Definitely B2C based online services would be a great win for both companies and their customers if it's done well enough to delight the customers and implement proper usage based pricing strategy on the service that they offer. But B2B based cloud services may not be very attractive and definitely companies like salesforce or products like google apps would see a challenge to penetrate the market. The real winning point on the B2B service would be acquiring the confidence of the medium large enterprises in areas like security, privacy, compliance, SLAs, etc. Google has proved its trust far beyond than any other companies by exhibiting its core principles. Definitely i would see Google being a potential winner in B2B market comparing to any other ones competing in the same space. Besides, another important aspects of B2B services to enable mobile or tablet based offerings serving it from a cloud. That's where the 640B business lies for mobile space. On the hardware side, the companies would be developing brilliant displays which is interacting with cloud services through an ultra high speed internet channel. There is no wonder in a few days you would be keeping your 'pockettop' in your pocket and doing all sorts of work with the same comfort of a fully fledged laptop from any where you want.
