Why not create a joint venture with a browser maker, like Opera for the phone with built in synk.org.... so the phone-compatible services are available right there in the browser?

Starting "the browser as the os" revolution...
The idea with this blog is to explore how one would go about switching from a local computer-based OS to a network-based OS. I'm going to try to move everything I've got in my regular work/private laptop to net resources, like images to flickr, notes to gubb.net and word processing to google docs.
Some of my stuff is already online, like mail (gmail), calendar (google calendar) and my office's project management and to-dos (projectpath). But there is still tons of stuff and apps on my harddrive. If I succeed in moving everything online I should no longer be dependant on any one computer. I should be able to use any connected device, any desktop, a friend's laptop or even a mobile phone to access all my media, digital assets and work files, right?
I still think there is use for a local harddrive, for spooling stuff (saving temporarily, or importing media like video and images). But in general almost everything digital should be possible to store and edit online.
The one big question mark is; how do I access and edit stuff when I'm not online? Well, there is a few categories where you'd like to able to have media offline, but there should be solutions, and I intend to find them. iScrybe promises to be an online workspace with offline sync. My music is portable on the iPod (but where can I store all my music online, accessible from all computers?) And where do i keep my video files?
In the top frame here (nanok.com) I'll link to my most used and most appreciated services, and I hope when I'm finished that collection will cater to most needs when using a computer, and that I've found ways to sync my digital life.
An interesting thought that springs to mind when one thinks of an OS with all the neccessary apps and functions available online through a browser; will the world still need the big brand computer makers? Will it need microsoft?
