VMWare AppBlast = Photoshop on your iPad?
VMWare have given a sneak preview of what they will be announcing at VMWorld 2011 in Las Vegas, and one of the interesting products is AppBlast. The company says AppBlast will "provide the universal delivery of any application, including Windows-based applications, to any off-the-shelf browser or device supporting HTML 5", along with an image of what appears to be Adobe Photoshop running within Safari on the iPad. It will be interesting to see how this works exactly and how useable it is in the real world, especially with something as powerful and potentially fiddly as Photoshop. Also announced was Octopus, leveraging VMWare's aquisition of EMC's Mozy Data Protection service to "enable enterprise-grade collaboration and information/data sharing". Sounds (and looks) like DropBox to me, and I'm sure these guys aren't happy about the name.
