Desktop in your pocket- more on MojoPac
Today’s Wall Street Journal has a review by Walter Mossberg of the software program, MojoPac, that I discussed previously. The Wall street Journal is a subscription site but Mossberg’s articles are at a free site and the review can be read here. Mossberg says
MojoPac sounded too good to be true, but for the most part, it actually worked as promised. Privacy is a big plus for MojoPac, as your files remain on your thumb drive or iPod, and never transfer to the host PC’s hard disk. Similarly, your entire browsing history and all cookies remain on the portable device.
There is a catch, however: A few aspects of this program are a little too geeky for the average person, it is slow to perform some tasks, and it crashed one of our computers during a test. Also, it doesn’t support making Microsoft Office portable, unless you have a corporate or institutional license.
The article concludes
The core of this product is smart and quite useful, but it needs some work to be as simple and reliable as it should be.
I think that the software is very promising but I think it was rushed out before it was quite ready. If the authors can polish it up, it promises to be a very useful program, especially for travelers.
