OnLive, the cloud-gaming service, has just broken into the consumer space with OnLive Desktop, and iPad (and soon Android and phone) app that gives users free access to a Windows cloud-based space. With 2GB of free storage and access to Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint, along with some basic Windows 7 functions (like the Microsoft Surface picture viewing application, file storage, media viewing, etc.), you can now use your iPad as a Windows 7 device.

Yes, note the irony in that statement. The only way to get an authentic touch experience for Windows 7 without putting down $15K for a Surface table is with an iPad.

I got to play briefly with the service, and it’s pretty fluid and I was impressed with how it ran. iPad users can download the app right now here for free.

The service is currently only available for free with 2GB, though the company has revealed three additional enterprise plans. The first is $10/month and offers 50GB of storage, all of the features of the free service though with higher bandwidth priority, and the option to purchase and use additional software that developers make available through the service. That means applications like Adobe Photoshop or Autodesk may be available without any requirement to install or take up space, while having the backbone and muster of high-end servers running all the computational processing.

Two additional services will include full IT-managed desktops that will support just about any device and function required by the business, and a collaborative service that will offer voice and video conferencing for thousands of users simultaneously. Both services will be priced based on the needs of prospective clients.

Eton released the newest addition to product line with its Ruckus Solar Bluetooth portable solar-powered sound system that recharges its batteries with sunlight. The portable speaker system allows users to stream music from any Bluetooth-enable device, so you can take it anywhere you go. Given its solar-powered charging capabilities, the Ruckus makes a great outdoor speaker you’ll want to have when summer hits since you’ll never have to plug it in to charge. You won’t be the only one soaking up some rays with this speaker around.

Its 40-inch-square high efficiency monocrystal solar panel can recharge the internal lithium battery from zero to full in about six hours and if no light is available, the new Ruckus Solar Bluetooth portable solar-powered sound system can also be powered and charged via the provided AC adapter. But that’s not all it can do! It comes with an integrated USB that allows you to keep your smartphone (or any other device) fully charged on the go, too.

It’s also equipped with an E Ink display that’s totally readable in direct sunlight, saves battery power and is virtually indestructible (according to Eton). The Rukus also has two full-range speaker drivers, delivering booming lows and crystal-clear highs. Eton will release the Ruckus Solar is a Bluetooth speaker system around April and will cost about $150.

Altec Lansing didn’t just want to focus on creating a wireless AirPlay speaker for OSK and iOS and decided to make a universal WiFi speaker that can be controlled from a number of devices with its new Live 5000  (MN5000) Wi-Fi All-In-One Speaker System. Users can listen to and control all their favorite music from cloud content or home network in any room

It features two three-inch speakers, two silk dome tweeters, and a four-inch sub with a passive radiator, which are all powered by a tri-amp system. Its Gentile convex curve of the speaker was used for maximum audio clarity and prevents sound waves from canceling each other.

All music is instantly accessed via a downloaded app for your iPhone, Android or desktop and sent to a queue for playback, allowing for users to stream an control content from their existing wireless network to any room in the house. And the free app allows anyone in the household to control the system, no matter what device they have. The app also allows users the ability to browse local and online media sources like Pandora, Rhapsody, SiriusXM and more.

The Altec Lansing LIVE 5000 WiFi Speaker will be available early this summer and will carry a price tag of $499.99
