MojoPac and Moka5: The computers in your pocket
Summary
First, an update on MojoPac, a Mountain View start-up that has created a way to essentially carry around your computer in your pocket, which we mentioned last week. Appajodu says he expects MojoPac to have good adoption in Asia, where people have fewer laptops, and rely on public computing facilities, such as cyber-kiosks. Also of note is that MojoPac distinguishes between the operating system and processes (shown on task manager). Then there is moka5, a Redwood City company backed with about $3 million from big-name venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, which is releasing LivePC, a product that is apparently doing much the same thing. The team leader is Monica Lam, Professor of Computer Science, currently on leave, from Stanford, and who started virtualization research in 2001.
