Hello!

You've landed in the archive of the Cambrian House community. We've kept some pages here for posterity but the community is no longer active. Now we market the technology that made our early crowdsourcing a success.

Can we help you get to Cambrian House the company? – Come on over.

Are you seeking crowdsourcing technology? – Check out Chaordix by Cambrian House.

The Elevator Pitch

For Anyone who uses a computer the DAME certfication is a clear way to have your desktop always with you, and that lets you never be without your digital stuff. Unlike the current notebook / mobile phone separation our product merges the multimedia phone into the desktop.

The Idea

DAME is a specification for devices that would act as desktop and mobile platforms. This would go beyond the laptop / notebook paradigm to bring the mobile / handheld into the desktop paradigm.



Typically a notebook can either fit into a dock or has external I/O connectors to let the user have larger screen / bigger keyboard desktop benefits.



The problem relates to the size of the notebook - it's just not portable enough.



On the other hand, the screen sizes of mobiles are generally too small for desktop use.



The DAME spec would create a class of devices where the phone / handheld would act as the CPU, and also have a high degree of functionality away from the base.



The paradigm shift would be that there would be no "I left it on my computer" statement. The phone in your pocket would *be* your computer.



DAME would start as a website for information on existing products that are close to the DAME spec, provide a spec / certification process for companies, and a web store.</br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br>

Have you seen the TV ads for the Treo 700 (I think) with the Windows OS? They're touting pretty much what you describe. Their actor gets on a plane with no luggage, builds a powerpoint presentation on his phone, arrives at some other office and gives a presentation by plugging his phone into the projector. We're pretty much there.

Of course, there's a serious matter of both processor speed and memory. I love my Treo and use a lot of apps on it, but it can't really substitute for any of my desktop machines that need to run development databases, compile code, etc. until the hardware specs increase dramatically. The solution for me at the moment is remote-access software on the handheld, so I can remote desktop to a real machine and access files or get real work done.
