Imagine being able to have your PC with you at all times. Whether
you were at home, work, school, or even at a local coffee shop you could access
all of your personal files. On
RingCube Technologies developed
this software to make it easier for people to transport their data between
multiple PCs. MojoPac turns any PC or laptop into
your own personal computer no matter where you are. While your MojoPac PC is plugged into the host PC, it’s borrowing the
host PC’s screen, processor, printer, CD/
Creating a MojoPac PC is a fairly
simple process. First, plug your portable storage device (iPod,
USB device, or cell phone) into any computer with Windows XP. Then you go to
www.mojopac.com and install MojoPac onto your device.
You can now log into your MojoPac PC that you have
just created and bring up the new desktop, called MojoView.
This will look similar to a new Windows XP PC. Now you can install your various
applications from MojoView. These applications will
be available to use on any PC you connect to and run the MojoPac
software on. Installing applications on your MojoPac
PC are similar to installation on a standard PC. Simply load the CD/
Using MojoPac software has many
advantages and disadvantages. The major advantage to using MojoPac
is its portability. Your can have your computer with you at all times. MojoPac can run simultaneously with the host PC without
altering any of the host PC’s settings. When you leave the host PC, all of your
sensitive information stays in your MojoPac PC, so
it’s secure. You can also install many popular PC and online games into your MojoPac PC and play them anywhere. If you laptop’s battery
is dead, all you would have to do is plug your MojoPac
device into any other computer and resume work. All of your personal
preferences will be the same as your original laptop settings, and won’t alter
the host PC in any way. One key disadvantage is that in order to use MojoPac, you must be logged into the host PC as the
administrator. This means that MojoPac will not be
available to use in certain networks, like a university campus. Another
drawback is the system requirements. Only a handful of applications are
available to install on MojoPac, while many others
still have not been tested. MojoPac only works on
Windows XP, and will not work on PC’s that have upgraded to XP from Windows
2000. Currently, MojoPac is available to everyone for
a free thirty day trial until the special introductory period is over on
MojoPac has the ability to benefit everyone from high school students to CEOs of major companies. There are numerous applications that can be stored on a MojoPac device. Some of them include multimedia applications (iTunes, Windows Media Player), communications (AIM, Yahoo Messenger), internet browsers (Internet Explorer), productivity software (Microsoft Office, Quicken 2007) and various games. At home, each member of the family can have their own MojoPac. Mom and Dad can store reports and presentations, while kids can store their games and homework. This allows the home computer to function better because it doesn’t have to store all of these separate applications. Students can use MojoPac to transfer their homework and papers from home to school with ease. MojoPac can be a viable option to parents, students, and gaming advocates.
MojoPac will have a distinct
impact on the business world. People will be able to write up a presentation at
home, get on a plane, and present in
MojoPac will transform the way that everyone uses computers. From business professionals to the casual user, MojoPac will make it easier to take all of your personal information with you. You can carry your PC in your pocket and travel the world, accessing many of the applications that you need. Since it is in the development stage, pretty soon MojoPac will be able to support any application on any computer. Even though MojoPac is only available to install on iPods, USB hard drives or flash drives, or some cell phones, it can eventually be downloaded onto even smaller devices as technology increases. In the near future, we will all be using computers that will be more powerful and smaller than anything on the market today. MojoPac will permit the transfer of our private information onto these unbelievable devices.
