Only three days left to enter to win a Motorola Xoom!

Motorola Xoom

The Motorola Xoom is looking to be the Android tablet to beat so far -- check out of first look at CES. And if the rumors are correct, it could well be launched in the next few weeks on Verizon.

And that means it's time to give one away. We're teaming up with Wyse Technology, developer of the Pocket Cloud app, to deliver one unactivated -- and free -- Motorola Xoom tablet, running the Honeycomb version of Android. Hit the break for the full details and instructions on how to enter.

The contest details

First things first -- we don't yet know when the Xoom will be made available on Verizon. Rumors have it at mid-February, but that could well change. Also be aware that the Xoom will launch as a 3G tablet. Verizon has said it is expected to be upgraded to be LTE-capable sometime in the second quarter of the year.

The Xoom is being purchased and delivered by Wyse Technology, once Verizon makes the Xoom available for purchase.

You must be a U.S. resident at least 13 years old to participate in this contest. For complete rules, click here.

How to enter

It's simple: In the comments of this contest post, tell us how PocketCloud has helped (or will help) you do what you do better.

The contest ends at 7 a.m. EDT Sunday, Jan. 30. Wyse will cull the entries and choose a winner, which we'll announce later that week. Remember to answer the question. Merely replying "Yes!" or "I want to win!" will not get the job done. And we won't stop you from entering more than once, but we'll know if you do. So don't waste your time.

All that said, have fun, and good luck!

I have a long drive to work and pocketcloud would be great if I didnt have some information with me but i had it on my computer while i'm at work!

Ms. V says:

I am currently an IT student. I chose this field becuse of my love for technology. I buy a new gadget, learn everything about it, then sit back and think of ways to improve it. What would I have done to make this a little more interesting for me or what could have been better about it so that I didn't get bored with it so easily. Like most gadget lovers I am always ready to get my hands on the next new thing.
Im letting this tablet craze settle down before I decided on which brand to purchase. Owning one will give me the freedom to study, take test, and check-in on my classes while I am on the go. Being a single mother (of very active) 8 year old twins, holding a full time job, and taking college courses keeps me busy beyond belief. I seek as many practical/affordable conviences as possible. Purchasing a tablet I see as part of the future, winning one in the next few weeks would be even better.

Technology. Where would we be without it?? I know of nothing that has grown the way technical fields have. Technology is for ever evolving and I want to evolve with it....

Thanks for your consideration

Ms V.

PocketCloud can get the job done plain and simple. It eliminates the need of taking a latop with all the time and gives me the advantage of having all my files on my pocket. oh yeah!!

recoil762 says:

The cloud has really helped me transferring files back and forth from home. I do alot of pc repair and os troubleshooting. With this I have been able to reduce my footprint in a clients house. Having all of my data available from my drives at home has been a lifesave many times. Clambering around someones home toplug in a drive and a laptop is too much.

wireplayer says:

hello, i am a high school student at one of the most rigorous high schools in the country (Dsst). The PocketCloud will make my entire high school life easier as well as help me do better in school. with the PocketCloud school work would be easier and it would be a better method than i am using currently. the PocketCloud would also help be become a better student as my grades would increase and lastly the PocketCloud would help me get into the college of my dreams.

NeverLoyal says:

Pocket cloud will help me manage my school work better since I'm keep it on my desktop and would definitely utilize a tablet when I go off to college this year! It would also help me keep my files in sync with my moms computer and help her with different things when she needs it! I would love a xoom tablet!!

Craigmier says:

With PocketCloud on my tablet I just may take over the world!!! Well, atleast my world.

htafari says:

I'm a photographer, and I use PocketCloud to access and edit my photos in the field. There's no way I could carry my whole archive around with me, so when I get a request for a particular pic, I fire up PocketCloud and do it from my Droid 2 Global!

jigp#ac says:

PocketCloud would eliminate the need to transfer files to usb memory sticks or flash drives as I would be able to access the files on the pc using pocketcloud.

snype09 says:

PocketCloud has been a life saver, remote access to my work pc without all that cisco vpn mumbo jumbo. Huge help for me as a travel around the country and often need quick access to my files and programs.

gilligan156 says:

As a Verizon Wireless sales rep, I have customers on a daily basis looking to simplify their lives with a program like PocketCloud. I deal with regular consumers and plenty of business accounts and I constantly get questions about how to best sync their computers and their phones. I honestly hadn't read about it until today, but I'll be giving PocketCloud a download on the OG Droid.

Having a Xoom would be nice - I know Verizon won't be giving us any to have! lol

1337ray says:

Its great to be able to work from anywhere and not have to be sitting at a desk.

spasmoid says:

I've always enjoyed remote desktop apps (especially vnc compatible ones). Now that I have PocketCloud on my Epic, when I am stuck at a long, boring meeting I can actually get work done by logging on to my linux dev machine, running compiles launching test runs, etc. When at home I sometimes use it to control headless old pc's running via vnc for my pet networking projects.

MaXXXwell says:

"I want to win!" It has taken all of the stormy clouds away.

First and foremost, thank you Android Central and thank you Wyse Technology for holding this contest. Pocket Cloud helps me when I am away from home or just at work access badly needed files from my home PC. It soon will also allow me to tunnel out of my work place's "one size fits all" web filter to view this site and others daily.

shadygrady83 says:

Being able to get my files from my home computer for work is a great benefit! Especially with PocketCloud. I look forward to using it on my Xoom...won or bought

Eyelobes says:

PocketCloud is an awesome app. It helps me connect to manage my HTPC downloads. Since I run my Knology cable into that same HTPC is a remote management app for my DVR as well through Mediaportal. Have the ability to remotely manage network shares at home is a great help when the wife needs a folder on the fileserver shared for facebook and youtube posting. It allows me to fix problems for the wife when I'm away.

Simply Great!!

ohadios says:

I am already a user of PocketCloud on my Evo 4G. I Love it! Alongside VPN Connections, I can connect to work computers, manage virtual machines, use some of our SaaS applications which are restricted to machine on our internal network and just overall have access to information I need to complete my job from anywhere I might be. I remember one time I was at the doctor's office waiting to go in and received a call from one of my employees with an urgent inquiry. Using PocketCloud it took me all of 2 minutes to log-in and retrieve information from a machine in our office. But beyond that I've also used PocketCloud several times to remote into a machine at home or at friend's. On a tablet it would just be unbeatable productivity! I NEED IT! I WANT IT! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE GIVE ME IT!

Techjourney says:

I spend 4-5 hours three days every week in dialysis. I've enjoyed having my Motorola Droid 2 Global smartphone to read, surf the net, and listen to audio books and music. With PocketCloud and the Motorola Xoom tablet I could take my seemingly restricted situation to a new level of inspiration. The ability to access my desktop replacement laptop without having to lug it around would be such an advantage. PocketCloud and the Xoom tablet--a match made in heaven! (Pun intended!)

Digiflame says:

I wish i could say i connect to work or school to get some work done but usually i control my computer from bed, still great software.

kamek89 says:

Pocketcloud makes it easy to manage multiple computers

Pocket Cloud will allow my wife to bother me about computer problems even when I'm not home. Thanks for making my life just a little bit more difficult. :)

Ravila88x says:

If you surf onto PocketCloud's website you find this,

"With Wyse PocketCloud and PocketCloud Pro you can remotely access your desktop, multimedia, files and applications from your Android phone or tablet. Staying connected has never been easier!"

This pretty much sums up the amazingness of PocketCloud. I currently have an Android device. And thanks to PocketCloud I am able to remotely acces ANY file or program that I need that is stored on my PC at home. If i need to pull up an Excel document, or Word document. I can easily just pull out my Android device and access those files anywhere! How amazing is that. And with the introduction of the Xoom. How much MORE amazing will it be to be able to access your entire PC on a larger screen. With the help of PocketCloud I can literally Carry my PC with me in a small compact design thanks to Wyse PocketCloud! Hands down the best in it's class!

jcarlosfox says:

Pocketcloud lets me take my work anywhere I want to go...freeing up my time, and letting me work and play.

CyD13 says:

As an aspiring musician and music major, I have many gigabytes of songs and lyrics stored on my computer. I often use these songs as inspiration for my own compositions. Unfortunately, my Droid 1 has proven to be bloated from all of the music and sheet music I already have on the SD card. Pocketcloud not only provides an easy way to view the music not on my Droid, but to be able to promptly jot down any lyrics I come up with quickly (before they disappear) without having to transpose them to a word document later on.

Convenient.

dapoktan says:

It helps me check my spreadsheet for my monthly budget that I have saved on my computer when I'm away from my computer

Lancota says:

A new father of a wonderful and handsome boy, I find myself frequently "couched" as I like to call it. I come home from a long day of work and sit on the couch with my son on my lap as he sleeps so that my wife can get a few hours to herself. Unfortunately this time has it's drawbacks as the only web browsing I can do is on my phone. Since a majority of all my videos, pictures and music exist on my computer and I am unable to be on my computer while confined on the couch, a tablet paired with PocketCloud would allow me the freedom to simply access the media sever on my pc so I could stream it to my playstation 3. Additionally a tablet would give me a greater web experience and make that solitary time much more enjoyable. 

buckdw says:

I just want one. Dont know if it will actually help me or not. I'll let you know if I win... :)

bobniborg says:

As a teacher I am always switching between my home computer, my laptop, my school computer, my powerpoint presentation laptop and the lab computer. Although I try to keep files accessible by using online storage, it never fails that at least once a day I am looking for something that is on a different computer. PocketCloud would save me the uploading, the syncing, and the searching. It would allow me to grab what I needed and go. Be it checking a students grade while talking to their coach or a parent calling me while I was out covering recess. All my information would always be right at my fingertips.

PocketCloud would help me do what I do better by providing EASIER access to my home computers and even allow me to be more efficient at work. I have a MacBook and two PC's...there are days that I have ALL three in my bed trying to complete work. Not only that, in an office of about approximately 30 investigators...there are only FOUR desktop computers (NO LAPTOPS) and on a good day...THREE of those actually work!! I'm constantly forgetting important docs at home or having to email them to myself after I have sent it from my Mac to one of my PC's. I need HELP!!!

Psistem says:

When the open road is calling my favorite way to answer back is with two wheels and a fist full of throttle. A cutting edge mobile combo like Pocketcloud and the Motorola Xoom would be the perfect solution to tackle any task I make time for in between my pavement pounding sessions. Tucked inside my backpack would be the perfect tool to free me from the tethers of the office while allowing me access to all the resources available to me.

Protoroll says:

PocketCloud will help me manage files very easily from all of my devices and would makes accessing all of my programs from PC a breeze while I'm around campus.

timleerj says:

POCKETCLOUD is something that I would like to use to help me sync with everything I do. well, its something of the future as we're all going to the clouds! android will lead the way! :)

I do hope I win the Xoom, then I can bring it along to Malaysia(when I do go back) as well! That would be another first if I really am able to.

bonekeep says:

Pocket Cloud looks like the perfect solution for my remote desktop needs. I'm in the process of installing the free version now and would gladly pay for the pro version of the app if it performs as advertised! This will be particularly useful when I finally decide on which tablet I will purchase (if I don't get lucky and win me a Xoom!) to access my various computers.

uh60james says:

This would be amazing! Pocketcloud would let me go back to school, be more productive at work and at home! I need this!

seandalton0 says:

PocketCloud is pretty slick on a phone, couldn't imagine how much more handy it would be on that beautiful 10in screen. I'm a net admin, however most of the stuff I use software like this for is local troubleshooting. I run a few Win/*nix servers, and when I'm not around a client, or when that client machine is busy, have something like this on a phone is huge. Like I said, if I could load it up on a tablet screen, it would make life that much easier.

joepalma#ac says:

You know those family members who just don't know how to compootar? BAM! Pocketcloud.

ineedme says:

Way better than logmein work amd play from both pcs in the same place

blaidth says:

This would be awesome- Not only a tablet but one with pocketcloud. Now that would enable me to connect to my computer and do it all on the go. No more delaying on getting out and stuck in traffic. Get out earlier finish what your doing on site.

techboydino says:

It's pretty simple. As all IT folks and Admin's know, crawling out of bed in the middle of the night is a PITA. Pocket Cloud easily allows you to fire up your phone or tablet up and remotely login and handle your issues, no matter where you are. For me grabbing my phone and checking issues remotely without ever getting out of bed is the greatest thing since TV remote controls were invented. Pocket Cloud just makes life easier and lets me get more sleep. Do it.

Mariodroid says:

PocketCloud has allow me to fix/assist my mom's PC issues anywhere I am.

Pocketcloud allows me to extend the functionality of a tablet to that of a PC. Can't wait to experience it on the Xoom!

twillist says:

i would check my movie/music library anywhere!!!!

TheN0ble says:

I don't have a laptop so this will be perfect for school. I could check my online homework anywhere. I hope I win!

BBguy08 says:

Pocketcloud would help me to keep up to date with the services I have on my personal computer such as my multiple e-mail accounts, blogs I read, and office documents that I often update.

ex-nerd says:

To be honest, PocketCloud probably wouldn't help me out that much -- all of my remote work is done over ssh. It would probably just be a way to show off my cool new Xoom tablet. But who knows, maybe that would show me I've been missing some remote desktop action in my workflow.

z3r0d3vil says:

Wyse Pocketcloud helps me manage my school documents and assignments between my smartphone and PC. How much more productive could I be with a Honeycomb packing Xoom?!?! I don't know, but I'd love to find out.

tak_x says:

this would be a great help to my job. I work in sales, so I have to keep track of appointments, map out directions to my customers addresses. I also show them what web access looks like on droid X but I would to make it easier for them to see with a larger display.also I attend college so would make reading my college e-books easier.

grundyman says:

this mean i can now plant new crops on my farmville game

Namelez says:

I am going on a trip to Oregon in a few hours and well lets face it I can't literally carry my computer but I can have it on hand just in case i forget something. The combination of this and a few other apps. will bring my computer along with me on the flight and the drive back. I have more use out of my phone on a daily basis more and more then at my desk on the computer. And PocketCloud has done that one step further. I computer is now more a cloud server that I have anywhere I need it to be. Thank you Wyse and Android Central for helping me understand that the computer world is in the clouds.

sabattoo says:

I use PocketCloud everyday to log in from my Nexus One to company servers. Part of my job requires administration and monitoring and PocketCloud is of great help to me.

Thanks Wyse!

strikethree says:

PocketCloud lets me access my computer files when I'm on the go. Perfect for students and people who need to read and work on tons of documents. (Who also need the security)

Plus, the best part, I get to view my movies whenever I'm bored!

rsjet says:

PocketCloud will be great when I need to email myself a file from my computer's hard drive when I am out and away from my desktop! This happens to me more often than I care to admit, and now that I know of PocketCloud, it won't be happening again!

Thanks Android Central and PocketCloud.

rsuri2 says:

With You Bet! and Thin Browser, I can check out the menu of that fancy restaurant on my mobile device even though it's hiding in the mist of a messy Flash website!

izman12 says:

Im a youth pastor in my church and having to connect and constantly be in touch with more than 200+ kids and teens is hard to do with out the right technology. Pocketcloud would definitely help me with the things I need from my home computer so that I may continue to help teens with everyday issues and problems and helping them to be who they were intended to become.

Da808Dragon says:

Pocketcloud plus the xoom could be the answer to all my problems. Never again will I have to worry if I forget to upload my paper to my phone before leaving for school. Being able to access all my files from home, if I bring up a topic in class and find that I need to reference source material I could do so quick and painlessly.

xDD90x says:

I can't even begin to describe how PocketCloud has helped make my life easier, whether it be at home, work, or on the road. Until now I didn't think the PocketCloud experience could get any better, but using PocketCloud on a tablet like the Motorola Xoom would bring it to an entire new level.

psych2l says:

I could use this and pocketcloud in my research to better organize my voluminous data without worrying about it!

Elbrain says:

Mine is short and sweet, I love the damn thing across multiple plaforms. Its is sweet for the job viewing of different files.

dreamusa1#AC says:

So I use pocketcloud on my htc evo. Since I run 3 businesses it helps me especially when I go into a clients house. All I need is my evo and I can access my records from the clients house. I would lovethis tablet to help me in my business.

coolpher says:

i Have just started using Pocket cloud on my EVO 4G being able to be anywhere in my house and access files on my computer is awsome i love the way the app make is so easy to us thanks Pocket Cloud

redman213 says:

PocketCloud is so fuggin awesome I can access all my files at work so I don't have to juggle USB's anymore. Just wish I could leave my ol' laptop at home. Seriously amazing product thanks for making a free version!!

Megaloki says:

PocketCloud seems like it'd be able to give me a full blown desktop in my pocket. That would be great for getting assignments for work done while still being able to lounge comfortably wherever I care to roam, or at least get them done regardless of the fact I was at play when I should of been working. :P

samniisan says:

I used PocketCloud during a public event in my software engineering school to show what smartphones are capable of doing. I demoed this remote control application and the public was genuinely interrested :)

Papajorgio says:

I would love to be able to work while walking the floor at the same time! The xoom would be perfect for that.

dukeslb56 says:

PocketCloud would help me get more work done while I'm on the train commuting both to and from work. Therefore, I will be able to spend more time with my family while I'm at home rather than doing work on the computer when I'm home or staying later at the office.

ramik911 says:

What better way to forget about a windows tablet and use pocket cloud to do all the work for you. Verizon had the best network, motorola makes top quality android hardware, android central keeps you up to date, and Wyse technology makes the most useful app on android tablets.

Thanks guys for an awesome give away!

Fly2dm00n says:

The new cloud application will help me be more truly portable. I am always switching between my computer and my phone to do things, maybe now it won't be so difficult

bababooey says:

Being the resident geek in my group of friends, pocket cloud is always useful when a friend needs PC help. Instead of having to talk them through their problem over the phone, I just take care of it for them. Being a photographer as well, it's nice to be able to grab photos off my desktop while on the road (since lugging around a laptop isn't always prudent). Having the Xoom would just make it that much easier and much more effective.

sushismith82 says:

I would love to have the xoom tablet for my work as an army instructor, I travel quite often to train other soldiers. For weeks at a time, I am on the road and it gets very old having to lug around all of the technical manuals that are required to teach the course that I teach. I love android too much to get an ipad so either way I will end up with the xoom, but I would be very grateful if given this awesome piece of equipment.

Thanks for the opportunity

KKURTZ78 says:

i use pocketcloud sometimes to access my virtual enviroment at home,debugging and compiling codes for a couple of my projects.i can also view flash and kick my ipad to the curb.would love the dual core.let me win i really need a actual computer

i2ichal2d says:

pocketcloud enables me to be on the go and not worry about not having important data reachable whether it be pictures or files etc. no matter where i am i i feel as if im at home.

Goldwinger says:

It's simple, I'm at home, I'm at work, I'm on site, I'm on the way, no matter where I am, I am there, through the cloud.

thepoetvd776 says:

As a writer/artist, inspiration can come at any moment, so having my access to all my current work in progress with PocketCloud, is truly a blessing. I cant wait to discover the things I would be able to do, and finally finalize some of these works left in limbo.

Of course I can also show off the product to many of friends who will no doubtfully want in on the action. Thanks for the opportunity!

tyrran says:

As much as I wanted to win a tablet, I felt it was only fair to see exactly what I could and would be doing with PocketCloud, in lieu of simply reading about it and saying "Yea, I'll do this" and pray for a tablet. The results were absolutely unexpected.
First off, I've used other remote desktop clients before, and I've never felt as at home with PocketCloud as I have anything else. Even running on a rather clunky tablet that was brought to me from the Far East, it seemed to be smooth and beautiful. It's a breeze to set up, and I had equal success connecting to my Mac as well as my desktop PC.
The long and the short of it is we are a mobile people now. Though the powerhouses sit at our desks and our tables at home, we carry our lives in our pockets (or backpacks, in some cases). With a really decent tablet in hand (not just an 80 dollar toy I got to watch videos) I can safely say that I would happily invest the full amount into getting PocketCloud and turn it into a invaluable tool, on par with the internet browser (in many ways higher). The free version hooked me: now I'm yearning for a stronger device to justify and utilize the full majesty of PocketCloud. Here's to hoping!

Ankhwatcher says:

PocketCloud can help in my quest to become an Android developer by letting me connect to my home server and edit code on the move!

kevinc says:

I use pocket cloud constantly. I manage several jobsites and I am able to pull up plan details for my crews if they have lost pages. This would be much easier with the Motorola Tablet, but even without the Cloud has made my job much easier.

rpitts9999 says:

I am just a normal guy with two kids trying to make it. I could use this Tablet to keep in touch with my kids and use the Pocketcloud software to further my small but growing business. I would love to be the one to hold up the tablet and say I won.

jsh611 says:

I see the PocketCloud app helping me and anyone else access their computer whether they are PCs or laptops that are at home or at work while they are on the go. The PocketCloud is an easy to setup and use for the novice and the seasoned pro. I thank WYSE for coming up with one of the most useable apps I have installed on my HTC Android Incredible. The PocketCloud app in combination with the new Motorola XOOM would be an awesome combination.

MrSmith317 says:

As a data center manager that relies on remote access, Pocket Cloud on a larger screen helps me manage my VMWare farm. I can already use Pocket Cloud on the go (on my Motorola Droid) to manage emergencies and check statuses. I can also control my work PC and manage my email without dealing with clunky smaller interfaces. Pocket Cloud gives you the most versatile and intuitive means of managing real business period.

stanis3k says:

pocket cloud will allow me to access content while physically being away from there, remote access

elamb23 says:

Pocket Clould and a New Motorola tablet could be my solution to always forgetting my work on my home pc. If I could remote in I would save numerous trips home to retrieve my work!

Drumdumb1 says:

Because lack of certain applications on the android market like Quickbooks is keeping me from becoming a PC dissenter!PocketCloud will be my way to be as PC free as possible!

DeafRabbit says:

I have been a dedicated PocketCloud user for a while now, and I must say it is the best remote desktop app on the market. It comes in handy alot, whether I'm trouble shooting a problem from far away or trying to send myself a file through email on my computer when I'm not near it. I've told at least 10 of my friends about it, and they all bought it right away after seeing me use it. Good app Wyse, and thanks for all your hard work ;)

Capt. Vate says:

I've been using Pocketcloud for several weeks now after trying out the competition. It's ease of use for remoting from my Captivate to Windows 7 has been the deciding factor in making this my RDP software. I have also tried it on a Verizon Galaxy Tab which has been even more amazing.

It's fast screen refreshes have allowed me to remotely access my work excel documents from my home PC and easily jump over to my second monitor (where I keep Outlook open) to send them back to myself at work. Without it, I would have missed out on several important reports and presentations for my employees. I installed it for the novelty, but found it to be incredibly productive. Kudos on the software. Would love to try it out on the new XOOM.

Just a few thoughts...

As a network admin and having used various other support programs, I can say pocketcloud has met and exceeded my expectations as far as giving me the ability to serve my clients needs while I am out of my office or traveling. The best part about it is that with the built in encryption and ssl functions I can satisify the security needs for my even my most security concious clients without looking for an alternative product as I had to do in the past. It's robust and scalable enough to connect to connect to the latest windows 7 desktops and servers. I would love to see such functions such as file transfer and desktop sharing be integrated, but I know i'm getting ahead of myself.

h20squirter says:

i hate contests where you have to make up some BS story about how great this is, or why your the biggest fanboy of this, what happened to good old just gimme something for being a lazy jackwagon and just filling out my name and email. ugh.

VMdoug says:

The company I work for is an ISV specializing in Virtual Infrastructure management. We have a number of people in our company that have iPads and use Wyse PocketCloud to connect to their desktops as well as our VMware View 4.5 based demo lab. I'm not a fan of Apple products (too restricted) so they always like to "show off" how Wyse helps them do their job without having to carry a full powered laptop.

I've been waiting for "just the right" Android based tablet and it appears that the Motorola XOOM may be just the thing I've been waiting for. The XOOM along with Wyse PocketCloud would finally give myself and others in my company the ability to show those iOS fans that there really is something better.

Since I travel alot and meet with our customers and partners, having a XOOM with Wyse PocketCloud would mean that I wouldn't have to carry a heavy laptop (I'm sure my back will thank me).

Feel free to follow me on Twitter: @VMDoug

This combo would be awesome for anyone! Pocketcloud is such a useful app. Anyone could find a way to utilize this in a way that benfits them or makes them more productive. Some will use it to access home documents on the go (or maybe forgot to save a file to a flash drive before work?) Some will enjoy the ease of sharing files with others. Me? These and the ability to access all my music whenever i want without being restricted to the size of the harddrive. Add in the ability to take this thing to class for notes and reviewing powerpoints and this becomes the object of my geeky wet dreams. Its like having a desktop at all times. Plus, who wants to carry around a laptop everywhere? Or even worse an overpriced underpowered netbook. No thanks ill take this sexy beast!

Daedalus says:

Using this would allow me to access my office PC making last minute changes to items for Clients while I am on the road so much easier. There have been times when I need to access something at my home office and all I had was my Phone, This tablet would allow me to better improve supporting the people that call me on a daily bases and would almost rule out me having to carry my laptop.

iheller says:

I've got a sweet dog who would love for me to work from home more. and a wife. but mostly its about the dog. and working from home

davekr says:

I am a software engineer and I do a lot of work from home. PocketCloud works great for connecting to my work PCs from my iPad! I use it especially for checking builds that were running and making minor tweaks to code. I also use PocketCloud on occasion for using my PC's full browser when the iPad doesn't support something I need to access (like Flash). PocketCloud is a great product and I would love to use it on a Xoom!!

zaslek says:

PocketCloud will help me greatly at trade-shows. I'm constantly out in the field generating new leads from our partners & trade shows so the ability to remote into my server and get any information needed as well as the ability access my CRM software on the go to book appointments on the spot will be a great gain. Thank you pocket cloud!

freshicet says:

Pocket cloud is the best app that has help me help my mom many time.

plemelin says:

I use Pocket cloud daily as a Network Engineer I need to ba able to get to my clients from wherever I am and with Pocket Cloud I have that ability.

As an IT administrator, Pocketcloud would enable me to troubleshoot issues from the field. It would help greatly in bringing down completion times on our helpdesk application. Using the Motorola Xoom coupled with Pocketcloud would enable me to do all of this without having to carry around my laptop.

As a tech consumer, Pocketcloud would allow me to substitute the Motorola Xoom as a complete remote for my HTPC allowing for even more usability from the couch.

As a family member, Pocketcloud has allowed me to fix problems with my family-members' PCs regardless of which state they currently reside in.

Thank you Pocketcloud, and thank you AC for this contest.

Ktulu says:

I use PocketCloud on my Droid X to help manage my enterprise servers at work and my media and home automation servers at home. It's great, but it would be much better on a Xoom.

If I win this XOOM, PocketCloud will be one of my first downloads. I'm a traveling sales rep, and need my computer with me at all times. If I can leave my laptop at home, and use PocketCloud to remote access my necessary files, that would be huge. It would save me a lot of space, and it would eliminate all risk of toting my laptop around and constantly backing it up. Thanks Wyse and Android Central!

RiversideKid says:

I found out about PocketCloud through this giveaway! I have been monitoring the xoom because of the built in barometer, i think that is way cool and as one of many who are impacted with sudden changes in barometric pressure changes I think there will likely be an app that will be able to alert me to these in the future.

As a server admin with a life (I like to put in fewer than 60 hours a week) I think PocketCloud could help me devote more time to both my job and my family!

mpwt51 says:

This would be great. A great combo. Being able to access my desktop from anywhere will allow me to continue making Android apps even on the go, when an idea hits, I wont have to wait, simply awesome.

Pocket cloud is truly great, my family doesn't have the money currently to pay for cable but thankfully my laptop can pick up an internet signal and allow me to use it. Pocket cloud allows me to access my computer and set my families favorite shows to download so that we can all sit down and watch them together. Winning a xoom tablet would be amazing.

Thanks androidcentral, and wyse.

nuke3ae says:

I am on call every single day of the week for my job. I get calls during dinner, at 3 am and when I am trying to enjoy my weekend. Pocket cloud lets me get out of the house and not have to stress that I'm not carrying my laptop with me. Now winning a Moto Zoom would be awesome because of the extra screen real estate and Android 3.0. It would be awesome.

Mattio322 says:

It has definately saved my butt a few times, I go to college and when i forget to print my papers or my notes i can always rely on pocket cloud to help save the day

Since I bring my work home, PocketCloud allows me to access my files from anywhere. It saves me from the hassle of remembering which of my 6 usb sticks I saved an important file or presentation. Great app!

sjenkins1009 says:

As an IT Technician, there is alot of times where i wish I could access my office information when I am out on the road. The company I work for, nor myself can spring for a laptop for me. nor the air card for use. I have been trying to get the money saved up for one for a while now. With the tablet and the Pocket Cloud app linked to my work machine and my home machine I would never be without the information I need again. It would enable me to save trips out of remote locations making a two week project into just a few days because i would have all the information i needed right there.

It also would make my school work alot easier as i could work on getting my Bachlors and later my masters while traveling so i don't need to worry about whether or not where i am going has wifi and always have access to my documents on my PC at home without having to carry around a portable hard drive.

Mac33 says:

PocketCloud gives me the opportunity to help my family from work.

mttallaczach says:

I have been using Pocket Cloud since I saw the first AC post about it and I have to say, it has saved me in a pinch on numerous occasions. More than anything the memory that stands out the most is when I had to give a speech for my Organizational Behavior class and everything seemed to be going wrong technology wise that day. I tried to use my iPod touch as a remote for keynote(basically this is all I use my iPod for) but that failed but luckily Pocket Cloud was there to replace my iPod. Now when I go to class, I have to carry one less thing.

valueman says:

Working in the real estate profession, I could use Pocket Cloud in the field to eneter data on properties. This would be a HUGE time saver for our company!!

jfaneuf says:

PocketCloud will help me stay connected to the 4 Elementary Schools that I support. Looking forward to it. =)

As developer I have to remotely access my workstation that has access to our domain that's where pocketcloud comes in. This has saved me time to drive to work at middle of the night or when I at Ireland meeting with my Manager

joe007 says:

I have been using PocketCloud to connect to home and work on my android phone to troubleshoot or fix. To have a bigger screen and PocketCloud technology, I only see my remote roll getting bigger. Even if I do not win, I love the app wyse!

swagner says:

As a network administrator for a school district I intend to pilot Android tablets to an entire grade level in our schools. Having access to files on the network could be the key to making Android a platform that works well for our students, staff and administrators. Allowing myself access to administer systems across the network from my tablet would also decrease the support costs involved.

Allowing teachers to access their computers from the tablet releases their tie to the desktop allowing better monitoring of student work throughout the classroom as well as allowing phys ed, technology, art, music, and other teachers to control their desktops and projected work, enter grades, and take attendance from anywhere in the classroom.

It is really not possible for me to describe all of the possibilities until I have Android Tablets in the hands of my students and teachers as they are the creative ones. I can simply us PocketCloud to enable more possibilities for them as well as increase my own productivity.

Pocket Cloud/Xoom would help me by allowing me to access my information anywhere. This would be very helpful in doing my job as an IT Analyst for the USN. I would be able to access my documents and information while sitting at a users desk.

I already use Pocket Cloud for my own personal use and I love it. It's great to be able to access my home PC from my Android phone.

SIK1 says:

so far having dropbox wasnt enough, so i added the pocket cloud app and turned my age old G1 into a full on copy of my desktop, how sweet is that!!!!!

tsluss says:

A tablet is in my future at some point and I have been waiting for a device such as this (the Xoom or the new Asus tablets) that have good options for being an impromptu desktop substitute. Where I work we use Remote computing constantly via Remote Desktop, VMWare EXSi and VNC software. I have been looking for a good light weight solution because I have a bad back and it can be tough to lug around even a laptop at times. If I had a device like this that would allow me to remote in when I have to go offsite it would be a life saver.

ajm135 says:

Dedicating 70 hours of volunteer time and having a full time job its hard to juggle in my life. But with Pocket cloud anytime i have a break or lunch at work if theres anything i need to print like a flyer or even edit that flyer from my phone i am only able to do that with Pocket cloud from work without having to be so it really saves me alot time from having to wait till i get home to do any of that

ggeorg says:

Pocket cloud saves my ass in school all the time, whether I forgot to upload assignments, I need to give them a quick, discreet edit or actually get the work to my school computer.

draken says:

Just recently cut the cable and am relying on Netflix for streaming. It doesn't have everything so I have a HTPC on order. The Xoom and the PocketCloud app would allow me to have total control over the HTPC from the couch, without having to rely on the wireless keyboard and mouse, which can be intermittent according to online reviews. Then my wife can snatch the Xoom out of my hands and check Facebook while I stream the remaining episodes of Caprica.

turtle357 says:

I have a special needs son, who requires frequent hospital and doctor visits. It is nice to be able to highly mobile, so that I can still get work done and maintain communication with my office/customers during the down times waiting in the hospital. Thank you.

simp_10 says:

Utilizing Pocket Cloud brings some freedom. While traveling for work I am constantly pulling out my laptop just to get one bit of information. The ability to leave the laptop home and simply remote in and have access would be invaluable. Would also impress clients!

jasonstar7 says:

PocketCloud would really help my day-to-day activities by always giving me a link to my computer. I am an advertising sales rep and I often find myself in a situation where I wish I would have brought a particular information flyer, or may have forgotten a client's ad proof. PocketCloud would bring the peace of mind that as long as it's on my computer 30 miles away, I can still bring it up and reference it in a meeting.

zthralls says:

Hello I am an HVAC Engineer and part of my job is going to construction sites and marking up drawings(blueprints). These drawings are large and heavy. Not only that but i also have to transfer any notes/markups to a PDF version of the same drawings. With the Xoom tablet and Wyse pocket cloud app I will be able to directly place marks/comments on the PDFs essentially saving a step and not to mention save some trees because now I don't have to print off these large numerous drawings and lugg them around on the job site. Thanks for the opportunity!

UteDroid says:

As a starving student and photographer, with a crappy job in a dingy call center, this would be great to not only access homework files but my photos as well. It would be great for when I'm talking to people about my work I can show them on a nice big sleek screen and be able to show a wide variety by accessing my computer rather than relying on my phone (Samsung Fascinate, which I love) which can't show as much detail and only a small sample of work I keep on it.

It would be much more impressive to perspective clients I informally meet and don't have my portfolio. It would also help with my portfolio not having to drop so much on binding and printing and help me show a more broad verity with clients I meet with in a formal setting. Not only could they see how my shots look printed but also see what they would look like digitally.

The possibilities in my life are overwhelming. As a college student though there's no way I can afford something like this when my money goes to food and photography. Photography helps keep me fed and is my main job, this could really alleviate some of the cost I currently put into it by keeping my portfolio up to date.

willmsbrg says:

I work in IT and constantly have to fix PCs. Some PCs are in other cities/buildings so using PocketCloud and the XOOM would make my life so much easier when on the go. Also, the ability to remote back into my own desktop when needing access to files and documents would be a breeze.

caveritt says:

PocketCloud would help me out as I work a lot on the road at different customer sites as a consultant. It would be wonderful to have an extremely portable device that I could use as a full system by remoting into my home system.

airwaves says:

I have used PocketCloud on my droid X for a long time now. Being in the aviation business it has helped me greatly searching required items for me on our office mainframe when they are needed out in the field at 35,000ft. It has been the best RDP program I have tried and I have tried them all. I would love a tablet to help with my daily tasks. Just can't bring myself to get a iPad.

cb022980 says:

Pocketcloud will help me to keep my business information and personal information separate. Also I don't have to carry my personal laptop when I travel for business purpose.

cpagan2000 says:

Pocket Cloud would help me a lot by accessing my computer at home for programming purposes I run Visual Studio 2008 at home and also Eclipse with Ubuntu and would like to have a tablet instead of carrying around my laptop to remotely access those computers I also have a camera security system and would love to use pocket cloud to access that computer and monitor the home.

Thanks

cigarjockey says:

I deal with family members whom always have a bad habit of needing info from their PC at the most inconvenient of times.
Using Pocketcloud I can access such PC and poof relief!

Maven454 says:

Pocket Cloud lets me access my home and work computers no matter where work sends me without having to haul around a laptop. Best of all, when work calls about server issues in the middle of the night, I don't even have to get out of bed to start troubleshooting the issue.

gtricecakes says:

Pocketcloud is like having a desktop handy at all times and sometimes you can't use your smartphone or tablet to really perform up to desktop standards.

I've used it to access documents and movies for when I need them. It's great!

yardie87 says:

oh wow! you guys are pretty lame and aren't true to yourselves..."I need it to do work, I need to help me be more efficient..great for school..helping my wife"....blah blah blah! Ha! who cares.great fabricated reasons. I just wanna be the dude with the hottest tech out and access my fav porn clips on the go, secretly stashed on wifey computer. ok Wyse / Android Central...My inbox is now patiently waiting for confirmation of tracking #......

xnewethicx says:

Currently playing around with PocketCloud in order to enhance my mobile DJ business. Being able to leave the laptop set up and wander around through the party or wedding, while still being able to have remote access to the laptop running my DJ software allows for SO much more interaction with the crowd, and integration of my two favorite loves (technology and music) into a seamless product that I can make work for me! :)

bosscross says:

I use PocketCloud to access my corporate environment and a few clients. It's very convenient and with a tablet I will not have to carry my laptop with me to do so. It would be great to have a dual core tablet that I could do this on and show off to my friends, colleagues, and clients. I hope I'm the lucky winner!

chrisdl says:

Wyse Pocket Cloud is the one app every serious computer user needs. Its the one app every business person that travels needs. When I'm away from home on business, pocket cloud gives me the peace of mind to be able to log into my home and work PC whenever I need to update spreadsheet or report.

Paulistano says:

PocketCloud already saved my weekends many times and for just 15 bucks... I can't imagine how great will be doing the same through the XOOM interface... Thanks for this!

JMusic says:

PocketCloud lets me work from home on those days when there is too much snow and ice (especially ice) to let me get to work safely.

ItsDrew says:

With Wyse PocketCloud Pro, it puts my world at my fingertips at all times. With instant-on capabilities of my handheld devices, I can remote to any of my own computers using VNC, I can use the Android VPN technology to securely connect to my office and use RDP to connect to my desktop. I can then access my VMware lab using VMware View. All of this connectivity from a single, yet simple, application. PocketCloud has changed the way I function when I’m on the go. I can’t imagine life without it! Thanks Wyse!

kidjbg says:

As a teacher, I am constantly trying to create new way to instruct my students. With pocket cloud, I can work on school lessons from my tablet from anywhere, all while accessing my school computer. I have the ability to create new and successful plans to better teach my students.....all from my tablet. This technology is amazing, and has greatly relieved some of the stress of teaching and preparing to teach.

rlbrooks says:

Wow! I just found out about the right app at the right time. I use other cloud based options with Google and Zumo Drive, but they have been piecemeal alternatives that do what they do well, but in a narrow scope. I am away from home often and in situations where my laptop is just not able to be readily available. I am an officer in the Army National Guard and a small project manager on the civilian side. I never seem to have every file I need, when I need it. PocketCloud looks like a great solution. I can’t wait to try it out. Winning a Zoom would be great, but I feel I have already won by reading this thread.

Sacul210 says:

Pocket Cloud could help me on the go, while im away from home and get the tasks done simple and quick. I have never used pocketcloud, but i read everything about it and it looks like a very useful tool for every day tasks on the go. I would love to win this Motorola Xoom.

vhensler says:

As a computer programmer I find that this and PocketCloud will be a great asset to my work. Being able to remotely access files and having a second device for testing and debugging will be very useful.

keithsmith22 says:

The combination of XOOM and Wyse would make my life so much easier. As a person crazy enough to start my own business in this economy, having the ability to access my home PC will help my business grow as well as keep me close to my files without being there. Being able to sketch a design us SketchBook Mobile and then accessing my files at home will give me a leg up on the competition during my meetings. Having instant access to send a file or show drawings while in a meeting will be a huge sales tool. Plus it will be funny to have a tablet that is more powerful than my desktop.

rosser says:

I love using Pocket Cloud. I love to use it because if I need a file for school from my desktop, I can go on Pocket Cloud on my phone and send the file to my school computer, and then I don't have to get in trouble if I forget my homework. I use use Pocket Cloud almost all the time! It is also great because I can also edit files from anywhere, and because I can see who is doing what on my desktop computer! I love Pocket Cloud and will continue to use it for a long time!

rvannos says:

I had no idea about PocketCloud until I saw this article. I'm going to install it now. Having RDP access to my PC from my phone will make it much easier to access documents that I didn't have access to before. Having the larger screen on the Xoom will be like sitting in front of my computer!

Wickee says:

I haven't gotten to use PocketCloud in the past, but as I am planning on making the switch over to Android with my next phone, and can't wait for the Xoom to come out, this looks like an app I'll immediately want. It would be amazing to use on the Xoom, being able to access my home computer from anywhere with the 3G (and even better LTE) connection. It ands enormous value to the already greatness of the tablet (and any tablet for that matter). With the tunneling and secure connection, there are so many possibilities. It would also come in perfect in a pinch, like if I create a lecture at home for my CS class and don't have the latest with me, just pull this bad boy out, connect in, plug in an HDMI cable, and I'm good to go. It's great to see the connection even better between mobile and non-mobile device. This helps bridge that gap into helping keeping all your technology working together, for your advantage.

skullnbones says:

I work remotely and use my home desktop to dial into the office vpn and work on a virtual machine. The VPN software does not work on non-windows operating systems.

There are countless situations where I have to be away for an hour or two, but still need to be logged in to the workplace and see what's going on - Doctor's appointments, Auto repair, 30-minute coffee breaks, DMV etc.

This is where PocketCloud comes into play. I can be away from my desk without being away.

In simple terms, I would call it "Productivity on the go!".

Shoney says:

I'd use PocketCloud to help my wife with her small business. We bought some space at our local farmers market for this coming spring, and using PocketCloud we could keep our inventory current on our home computer while we are making sales (hopefully, a lot of sales!) If we had the Xoom Tablet, we could do this from our booth in a much more convenient way.

csifers says:

I would be able to watch any of my "home movies" while on the go, thus making me the coolest guy around!

Tifoso says:

PocketCloud made my work day 150% more efficient. I work for a state disciplinary agency where every bit of information I have access to is confidential. PocketCloud's security is what allows me to remotely access various criminal, civil and other investigative databases through my office portal without the concern that information may be compromised. Before PocketCloud, there was no way that the agency that I work for would permit remote access to these databases for fear of breaches of confidentiality. Currently, I use it on my Droid X, but if I had a Xoom it definitely would be more user friendly than it already is.

Since using PocketCloud, I no longer have to leave the room or ask others to leave the room so that can call back to my office and have my secretary feed me critical case-breaking information. Now while I am interviewing someone, I can simply log onto my portal while still having a conversation with them and get the information I need to either corroborate or refute what they are saying.

digband says:

I will totally impress my non-tech friends by using pocket cloud, and the chicago will so dig me... plus I can conveniently review my research documentation on the fly anywhere and everywhere I need, to use a piece of obscure data while pitching my ideas, or add data if I happen accross it on the go.

gaiden123 says:

Solid looking tablet. Honeycomb looks very impressive.

bsinc1962 says:

As an engineer for a medical device company we do a lot of work with hospitals and doctors. Having this tablet and the ability to upload files and videos online to a cloud site will make our development process so much more streamlined and efficient. Right now it's all done by either email or through an FTP site. Being able to take the tablet right into the operating room and being able to access our data in this manner would definitely be beneficial.

joerod4 says:

I love using pocketcloud on my android phone. I am a dialysis patient and use it to access my home computer when i'm away from home at dialysis. I would like a zoom tablet to have a larger screen to use while at dialysis. Thanks for your consideration. Even if i'm not picked pocket cloud is great!

mrdonbonjovi says:

More often than not I don't need to have my work PC physically with me when issues come up. Having a tablet, which is more mobile and play time friendly, that can access my work PC for small tasks, e-mail, and grabbing documents will allow me to handle issues that come up during non-work hours a lot quicker.

Being able to access your home/work PC with out having it on hand is very, very helpful!

AeroCmdr says:

Pocket cloud and the Motorola Xoom will help me untether myself from my desktop PC. There's so many possibilities that I can hardly begin to list them.

AeroCmdr says:

Pocket cloud and the Motorola Xoom will help me untether myself from my desktop PC. There's so many possibilities that I can hardly begin to list them.

I have been using PocketCloud on my DroidX for a while now. It has helped me to be able to help troubleshoot problems on my families computers. I also run my own computer consulting business and have just recently talked a client into moving away from the idea of purchasing an iPad to use it with LogMeIn to be able to access their computer from on the road (they own a Limo company). Instead I set them up with a Samsung Galaxy Tab and PocketCloud. Now they can remote desktop their computer from anywhere to be able to print trip sheets for their drivers. This has helped them to become more productive by not needing to keep someone in the office to set up all of the trips. Now they are able to be a TRULY mobile business in every sense of the word.

Having a Moto Xoom would help me to keep track of all of my families computers while at the same time being able to demo to new customers how WONDERFUL PocketCloud is and how they can benefit from having it.

tgomoses says:

Thank you PocketCloud for making our Daily tasks in life easier.
We couldn't do it without you.

supra_2nr says:

Working in the IT field, this would be a great tool to have... Being able to rdp into my work desktop or home desktop from a tablet with pocketcloud, besides being completely full of win, would be phenomenal if I wanted to travel some more and still needed to get work done on the go... please make it possible wyse!

bkckoe says:

I run pocket cloud on my EVO and would love to run it from an Android tablet.... I want this!

This would change the way I live, work & play. Everyone would benefit from this but there can only be one winner. Hope it's me.

pocket cloud is great for my wife and i. when we each go off to work we're apart for more then 11 hours a day. its so much easier to share our media through out the day to keep in touch. pocketcloud helps us get through the day a lil bit easier. thanx!! winning a xoom would make it easy for us to face time chat seeing as how i don't have a front camera.

adelmams#WN says:

I use pocket clout to access my files on the go, so I am never without my music.

With the many roles I fill -student, training assistant at work, military fiancee, IT assistant, etc..- PC app allows me to keep organized and never feel like im forgetting anything. I have the ability to connect and get in remotely while im out training the field, or check my IT notes while in another office. With my boyfriend being stationed away from my home, im able to keep up with our home computers and not have to worry about missing a thing. With a new piece of tech such as the Xoom, id be more efficient and life would seem to flow a little easier. i already am the tech person at work and im always bringing the team up to speed, with a piece of tech that would help me so much... id be that much more awesome and efficient!

=)

jqmustang#ac says:

This would truly help a struggling Realtor by letting me spend more time on the road showing property instead of stuck behind a computer. Its an ingenious idea. Im excited at the thought of owning a tablet!!

duculete says:

hope for remote everything - 0 worries that I am not in front of my personal PC.

so....

from downloading my favorites movies/music during the day to watch/listening when I came home in the evening

to remote developing

to remote debugging for customers

to remote helping my friends to manage their PC problems and more :D

to remote accessing and transferring files/programs between computers

hope this will be provided by PocketCloud .

Start testing now!

Craig007 says:

As a web designer and internet marketer, working from home a lot, it would be fantastic to be able to walk up to a client at Panera, Starbucks or where ever, and without having to start up a laptop; where I have already copied files over to from my desktop, be able to not only show a client their design layout from a tablet, but also make changes to the design, media files, etc it on the spot! It would also make me feel better if something where to come up that I hadn't planned on; and instead of setting up another meeting I can quickly access any files I need, which would be great if I am out and make a new sale or show a potential client some previous work on the spot.

No Waiting, No Rescheduling, No Need for Additional Meetings, It's On-The-Spot Access to Everything I Need.

ncsu4life says:

PocketCloud has helped me to be able to remote into my company's computers while i am playing golf! on a tablet like the xoom it would turn it into basically a fully functioning desktop environment as well.

taylorwc says:

I love it! Every time my mother/father has an issue with their computers miles away, I am there to save the day without even leaving my home (i know, corny rhyme).

I work from home. I use a simular program to access my work machine while I'm off doing other things. I have Office Communicator on my machine so that my bosses can tell when I'm away from the computer. This program looks far more robust. Insead of just moving my mouse around with the other program to show that I'm online. I could actaully get work done with this app! It looks amazing.

Check out Whye's youtube video for Pocket Cloud.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKk0FXHdRwk&feature=player_embedded

This app + the Zoom I could get a lot more work done from anywhere!

Wantec says:

PocketCloud will allow me (once I get my first Android device) to access my files and programs on my desktop computer from home. I won't need to lug around a laptop or netbook, I will even be able to run programs that simply aren't available on any smartphone out there. Thanks for the contest folks.

samfitting says:

Pocket Cloud allows me to not have to carry my laptop to meetings all day at work.

At home it allows me to use my phone or my Gtablet to access my machines around the house without having to run around.

I am considering installing it on my brother's PC so when he has a problem I can remotely evaluate what is happening and fix it without a one hour drive to see what is going on.

IBNobody says:

Pocketcloud has made my bathroom breaks 100% more efficient. Managing my entire network isn't stalled when nature calls.

jclyne56 says:

I have read similar reasons from other people but I do travel a lot for work so the Xoom and Cloud would help me stay on top of things and not get far behind and yada yada yada...typical answer.

Besides that, my boss has had an obsession with iOS for a while now and we use iPads at work. I'm not a fan and a lot of others are moving from the darkside as well. He's even started to second guess his loyalty and even our IT guys are pushing for android. If I were to show up with one of these bad boys it could push him over the edge so we go all Android and my life's work would be complete.

As much as I would love a Xoom and have been oogling over it since my first glimpse I noticed some military entries and think they should get the highest consideration for what they do for us and our country.

jgmo says:

As a learning consultant for the largest not-for-profit health care system in my state, husband of 20 years, father of 2 teens and avid volunteer at my church, my Droid 2, Galaxy Tab, MacBook and work PC are all vital parts of daily life. Wyse PocketCloud will allow me to be more efficient and effective in all of those areas. My devices will be linked to one "cloud" and I will be able to share quickly and effectively without taking time from my family, work or causes!

ballistic90 says:

PocketCloud will help me keep in touch with the files and programs that allow me to do my job from any location. As a DNS administrator over one of this country's largest networks, I have a lot of documents and files I need to keep track of, and to be constantly updating. PocketCloud will enable me to have access to them at all times, allowing me to do my job anywhere.

Flavy says:

As the only computer literate person in our family, PocketCloud will help restore sanity to my life. I will no longer need to pack up the family and drive an hour and half to my mother in-law’s anytime there is an issue with her laptop. This would also help prevent the father in-law weekend pop-ins where he needs me to update software or fix an issue with his laptop. Thank you Wyse for a great product, and the opportunity to win such an awesome device.

bigguy_132 says:

With PocketCloud not only can I support my servers on the go I can also get my files when I need them! I am in school and tend to forget things when I am at class with PocketCloud I can get the files I need to get the grades I need! I also support multiple servers and being able to RDP them on the go will be awesome!

JaybirdOSU says:

As someone who supports many users in my company as well as moonlighting as a tech support specialist for several companies, having the ability to quickly work from my tablet in a remote access situation with PocketCloud would be ideal!

XxGeorge says:

I work for a online division of a college and PocketCloud has been a life saver on more then one occasion when I was out and something went wrong at work, allowing me to log into the server and fix things from my phone. It saved both time but also alot of headache and frustration for our students and staff. So thank you Wyse Technology!!

gpracer98#ac says:

Wow! A free Xoom, that would be awesome! I would love this because it would make working from home so much easier! No more lugging around my heavy laptop! Thanks Android Central and Wyse!

First and foremost AC rocks, always great heads-ups and great contest. With a power house like the Xoom coming i really see apple and all othe tablet makers looking for their trump cards, lol. Now with the addition of pocket cloud to the Xoom, this will be bonkers. All android access,. all desktop access, what more would you want. I must say, within the last two years of my 27 years of life, i have lived the future. Companies like Wyse Technology and Motorola are really making the "Jetson's" happen, "ain't it cool".

davidcox6 says:

I'm the IT Manager for an insurance agency and have been using logmein ignition to get to certain computers remotely but I definitely like the interface of PocketCloud better and look forward to trying it out. I have a Droid X which is big enought to make it possible to work but would really love to try it on a Xoom. Thanks in advance!!!

sqlgeek#ac says:

I already do so much work remotely, but it requires me to be on my specific work laptop - this would free me up to use the android devices that I love to access my applications from anywhere I have a signal! And with LTE on verizon right around the corner, it will be like sitting at my desk... can't wait!

selenitic says:

As an IT professional pocketcloud is the number one tool I have for performing a quick troubleshooting without having to be on my laptop. For example, it has saved me several trips back to the office when I've needed to restart the services of an application or reboot a box. I also use it to VNC home when I need send a file from road.

aminiche says:

getting to use a fully featured program like excel on my phone is huge. all the other spreadsheet programs are useless.

stebog says:

Wow, never heard of Pocketcloud before. That and a Xoom would be perfect for managing an HTPC in a Home Theater setup. I can't wait to try it out.

rattical says:

Running a local Little League is like herding cats, with Xoom Android powered tabled combined with the power of the Pocket Wise app would truly allow me to conduct business everywhere and anywhere while keeping all the cats entertained..

niterider804 says:

Pocket Cloud will help me because in my current position I do a lot of VB Scripting and my company haven't updated my OS to Windows 7 and the latest Office software yet.

I would use Pocket Cloud to remote into my windows 7 PC to write the script and test it while I am at work.

Of course, its also nice to stream Video, Music, and Access remote files. In regards to the performance im sure Verizon's 4g will make it all the easier to do all of the above.

Show me some love and knight me with the Xoom!

dat1 says:

I really like using PocketCloud. Its like having a virtual external hard drive with you all the time. So yes I am enjoying all the benefits of the application.

mindlesstux says:

One of the first apps I hunted down when got my captivate, about three weeks ago, was a RDP/VNC app. I tried a few apps that did RDP and VNC independently but none have held my appeal. I found that PocketCloud fit that requirement rather nicely. I use it in conjunction with work and home vpn connections to access all the servers/desktops I need to manage.

I sometimes get a call from a coworker that needs help finding a file on the server and if I could not get to a computer I needed remote access to one. It has helped in that sense. There have also been a couple of times I have gone out to lunch and gotten a call that a service has crashed. I just jump on the VPN and pull up the desktop if I can and try to evaluate and repair the issue, or know I need to cut my lunch short.

On the flip side I can use it to also control my home brewed media server/desktop with out having to break out a laptop when watching/listening to media.

I will also be honest in saying that I am still finding things about PocketCloud that I like. Not but a few days ago I looked at the settings and now I am trying to install the auto discovery into all the core systems I need it on. I am sure in the next couple of weeks I will want to move past the freebie version and on to a full paid app.

MrSpeed3 says:

The Cloud would connect me to everything literally everything, with just on tap on my screen! And having a xoom would just be the icing on the honey ;) cant wait for this tablet to be released! i'd love me some honeycomb!

Jayshady84 says:

Pocketcloud app is the best app for transfering files from home or work to your phone or vice versa. So easy to use a caveman could do it (sorry geiko) . It takes my production at work to a whole new level thanks pocketcloud.

s2h2golf says:

I am fortunate to have a very happy family with two young children and a wife that enjoys staying home to take care of the kids. I have battled cancer in the past and still have a few years yet before I can officially be declared a cancer survivor. I have a great full-time job, but having a single source of income has been difficult financially, and the cancer treatments wiped out most of our savings. In order to get by, I started doing IT consulting work for a local Children's Museum on the side. It doesn't pay much, but it helps with the bills. I've even donated my time there when their budget was tight. There have been numerous occasions where PocketCloud could have saved me the headache of finding time to get over to the facility to find the source of the problem and fix it, especially when I am swamped with work at my primary job. Add on a Xoom tablet that I can carry with me all the time, and the deal is even sweeter.

MrCat2000 says:

From the road or an airport, I'm able to access and even work on documents stored on my PC. Looking for that memo from last year that was saved or that spreadsheet that I thought we didn't need, I can access it anytime, too cool!

muydess says:

I would use PocketCloud to access my home pictures and movies so I can easily share and show them with whomever is with me at that time. I would also be able to have my daughter and son watch their digital movies without having to carry around DVD's. For business purposes, it would save me from using that blasted Citrix :-)

mikeyonline says:

The Pocketcloud app would be a great too to have since I work at a PC support guy and support well over 75 computers at different locations and different shifts. It would make those 3 AM calls so much easier to be able to remote in fix the issue and go back to sleep....

xMatter says:

PocketCloud will help my company have better turnaround time when it comes to us IT people being on call on the weekends.

jspieker says:

As a mobile professional, Pocket Cloud would help me stay connected with both my home and work resources. This would give me the ability to better serve my customers in the workplace and stay more connected with them rather than tied to my desktop. Additionally, when not working it will allow me to connect to my home desktop and stay up to date with things happening there. Pocket Cloud could make me more productive and enable me to cut to cord with the desktop completely. It sounds like a great product.

technogadget says:

Pocketcloud and the Motorola Xoom would definately be of great advantage to me as I travel to lots of seminars all over the nation. Belive me... A laptop in a backpack is not that trouble free! The tablet form factor would eliminate a lot of clutter. The Pocketcloud services are a great addition because I can access whatever I need where ever I am. Trust me it would be a welcome change in the equipment that I carry with me. I would love to win this tablet also because it is cutting edge rite now and I will be starting my own business in Q2 of 2011 and it would save me some outlay if I were to win the Xoom.

CycloneTS says:

The convenience of the table with remote software would be second to none for my work. I am a commuter and do IT support, often remotely, which means dropping what I'm doing and either coming into the office or going to my desktop at home. The ability to do a few tasks from where I may be at a given moment saves me time, money, and from having to make quick arrangements to leave to do my job. It looks like a great package for a great many of us who read your website.

TimeHunter says:

As an IT pro, I use PocketCloud as one of my favorite tools in my arsenal for resolving computer issues on both servers and workstations.

abiezerf says:

Being an network administrator, I am always on call. For that reason, I need all my data on the go. With PocketCloud, I can have all my network resources and documents wherever I am at. THAT makes me a more efficient and more valuable network admin.

Recent member, long time reader and fan of the site. I'm in sales, as an IT Account Manager and IT Recruiter. I have a work laptop but I'm unable to install 3rd party programs on it when I'm on the road, now every week visiting clients to build those relationships and help fill their openings. I share my home laptop with my girlfriend, who I hope to make my fiance this year. We've recently moved in together into a 1 bedroom and I've been trying to do everything I can to save up enough money for the ring. With the IT hiring being a bit slow since 2008, I've been trying to do everything from small website design, online tutoring...to playing poker online at night (micros since i've been doing well in the $4.40s on PS). Since my work laptop doesn't allow for me to install 3rd party software, I would love to use a tablet to remote into my home desktop when I'm on the road to continue to work toward being able to get her the custom ring which I had designed since a year ago.

Thank you for your consideration and keep up the great work on the site. Good luck to everyone in the contest!

dswartze says:

I am away from my home desktop more than I in front of it. It is important to me to have an app like Pocket Cloud that allows me to connect to utilize the power of my home desktop. I can only imagine how much more I'll be able to enjoy remote access on a Xoom tablet!

cmacelis says:

Use Pocket Cloud all of the time on my Evo, would be great on the New Xoom.

kpolacek says:

Pocketcloud is a great app. Since I work for a very small company, it allows me to use my EVO to easily access all my home and business files anywhere, anytime. It really is an ingenious app that makes life/work so much easier and user-friendly.

javy617 says:

Working full time, being a dad and a full time student PocketCloud would really help me access all my documents wherever I am.

fraz says:

The Multi-function touch pointer will be key in helping me navigate around What a great idea!

gtshouse says:

With the Xoom/Pocket Cloud combination I would be able to use the proprietary applications that are on my corporate desktop out in the field. The screen size on my phone places a severe limit on this now...it's just not worth the hassle. This would allow me to provide quicker client service without having to call in to the office several times a day. My clients would appreciate it, I would appreciate it, and (perhaps most importantly!) my secretaries would appreciate it.

azjerry says:

PocketCloud allows me to control all the PCs at home and help my daughter when she has problems.

MysticMi says:

I dont own one but it sounds wonderful and im sure with 2 children and 3 grandchildren it would really come in handy. Would love to own one, just went from a BB to a Droid X and will never go back.

I am a Sales Manager and a mom to three young kids. PocketCloud will help me work on projects at home and then finish them up on the road or in the office when I have some "me" time! So excited about PocketCloud and the new XOOM tablet.

housetiger77 says:

I think the coolest thing is just being able to access your multimedia files anywhere. Also, being able to run different apps and programs doesn't hurt. I can't wait!!

cron912 says:

I would love to use the Xoom and PocketCloud to keep me connected while traveling!

KiWiLiT43 says:

As I travel a lot with work, PocketCloud has made my life easier in so many ways. I no longer have to worry about copying all files I "might" need from my home PC, I can just use the app to access them from anywhere. As the company net books we use are pieces of junk, having the Moto Xoom would make life much easier paired with PocketCloud!

Andy in Indy says:

I use Pocket Cloud for many things at home and at work:

At work, I access one of the office PC's to start upgrades and change backups remotely. I use it to access my work computer from the road when I see clients so I can access their files and make small changes without needing to bring my laptop around.

At home, I find it even more useful! I control my home theater pc from my phone or tablet. It was much easier to set that up than to figure out some of these other programs - I just act like I am sitting in front of the computer.

Having a single program that works with Windows Remote Desktop and VPN is great! I have computers running both Linux and Windows and I have used it to access Quicken and pay bills, to check on a project that is compiling on a Linux machine, and start up my next Watch it Now movie from Netflix on the TV all from my comfy chair!

Red 5 says:

Pocket Cloud would let me access my home PC from work which I cannot currently accomplish due to IT policies.

I'm a high school teacher. PocketCloud enables me to roam the school, connect my phone to a projector, connect to my home vnc, teach a lesson using powerpoint and onenote, then disconnect and slip my phone into my pocket and move on. It was made me 100% mobile in the teaching environment. I dont know what I'd do without it. A nice tablet would only increase this functionality!

runswithjedi says:

I left a file I needed to turn in for a class at home one time. Pocket Cloud helped get it off my computer and I turned it in on time. Thanks!

smccloud says:

It will allow me to easily connect to my desktop at work while I'm in a meeting to look something up. Will also make it easier to manage our virtual test environment at work.

johnday23 says:

I don't currently have pocketcloud but after reading about it on there web site it sounds like a great program I could use to do all kinds of things at home the least of these being logging in to my home computer to fix something my wife is having problems with instead of trying to walk her through it on the phone (this doesn't work very well LOL). It would make my life much easier. Thanks for the contest.

n.hof23 says:

I've used pocket cloud to access my laptop during training missions with the Army. Being able to show every detail of the mission to all troops involved is essential to success. We don't always have time to sit everyone down in an indoor environment to explain the details. Having a dual core tablet to pull up mission details instead of my tiny screened fascinate would be out standing, saving time, energy (carrying the chunky slow tough book POS), it also eliminates having to flip through pages of paper and passing around mission packets. Technology moves so much faster in the civilian world!!! Time to catch up MILITARY!! Hint Hint Motorola!

htcuser8740 says:

I like Pocket Cloud for when I forget an important document at home. It has saved me many of times with the boss!

DrAndroid says:

It will help me deal with massive amounts of data that I need to get access to day to day. It will also allow me to be closer to my family by leaving them notes that aren't emails. I'll be able to help my children with their homework too.

kicks says:

Pocket Cloud has helped my wife to remotely login to her home pc so that it could be ready for a online conference when she got home with the kids from eating at a non-wifi chick-fil-a. My 7 year old son was thrilled to be part of an online lego builders group that is only available on a first-come first-served basis.

BobFafard says:

I am currently the General Manager of a Adult Amateur Football team. In our second season and based largely on hard work and volunteers we are looking for a way for me manage all aspects of the organizations. I need to be to communicate to potential sponsors with different kinds of media and informtion on the spot. As our organization grows we deal with many potential players looking to get involved with our team and I need a way to communicate using forms and documents that need to be signed. We currently do not have a home office so my mobile phone is struggling to manage content with Google documents.
As we continue our outreach programs, we are often showing our community programs what we do and how we work together often with news articles and pictures posted to the Web. Using a small hand held device does not really help us demonstate our relationship. We think if we can present material on a device that can be done in a presentation format our message would come agree better.
Perhaps having the Xoom in assocation with Pocket Cloud our small organization can grow into something bigger and allow our involvement in our community to grow as well.

rwsst12 says:

PocketCloud will help me tremendously for managing my game servers when i am not in front of the server,so when one crashes i will be able to RDP into the server and be able to restart it. PocketCloud will also help me with work as i always have to RDP to virtual servers and to my work computer from other places at the University work at while i fixing problem with the network and computers around the campus.

EvoUserXXX says:

I am a investigator and do a lot of work for new York state. I work in preventing all different types of fraud that is heavily affecting our economy and causing our insurance prices to be off the charts. Having a xoom with pocket would give me quicker, lighter, less suspicious access to data,backgrounds, and pictures helping me become much more efficient at my career and at stop these criminals from taking the money that people work hard to get. I would pay for it myself but paying for school as well really hinders my spending money. Thanks Android central for always keeping me up to date, love android and my evo !!

superaj says:

The Xoom and PocketCloud would greatly help me stay connected to my home computer and both of my work computers bringing my pesonal life and business all together. I would love this!!!!!

robrowald says:

PocketCloud helps me when I'm on the road and I need to check on my servers. I can RDP to our public facing servers and repair small issues and make adjustments as needed, all without the need for a full blown PC. While it is usable on my Droid X, only having 4.3" of screen real estate is limiting. If I could use the expanded 10.1" of screen on the Xoom it would make my job so much easier.

vtgrad03 says:

As a graduate school student, I often need to access homework files from home, work, and on the go. Enter PocketCloud. Problem solved. The xoom's 10 inch screen will just make my life so much easier to navigate my files!

squane123 says:

Alright, everyone else tells you how it will change their lives, honestly I can not even begin to imagine the changes that will occur if I have one. I will start with an unconditional surrender from Black Berry to Android based products. I have been off contract for about 4 1/2 months now, RIM has let me down, I am more than ready to make the jump. I have my eyes set on either the Thunderbolt or Bionic, preferably the Bionic but who knows when that will come out. Picking me will ensure that you gain a new Android customer. Thanks for the time.

Dadrivera says:

Pocket cloud will allow me to keep track of the maintenance schedule and completion while on the road and away from my desktop. Just like the saying goes "to the cloud".

rpz3.14 says:

I use PocketCloud in conjunction with Dropbox and my phone file manager to get easy access to larger pictures. If I want to share a file or picture too large to be emailed, I upload it to dropbox remotely using PocketCloud from my phone and either download it to the computer of interest or to my phone and then share it via USB. This also comes in handy when I want to listen to something specific that I don't have on my phone. By using the file manager to delete items after I have finished with them, these apps allow me to use my home computer as a server.

FangDroid says:

This Xoom tablet together with Pocket Cloud would help me get my autoCAD drawings in sync with my office drawings when out on the field making minor/major changes. This would keep me in sync with my drafters as I make changes from out of town projects. Gosh I love technology now-a-days!

osi#AC says:

As an IT professional on the go, pocketcloud enables me to do more with simplicity. Being mobile is key to the job and pocketcloud just makes that so much more possible.

m-man says:

Well are so much we can do with the PocketCloud. First of all let's remember how offen we are on the way and want to access some info from the PC at home. Personally I had to call someone (if any) at home, and ask to send some of the files, per email. Once received might be that I can't open, due missing applicaitons. So, how easy is to access the file, as you see it there. On the professional experience, is even more benefic, especially for Sys-Admins.

SlappyMcgee says:

Pocketcloud would help me out by allowing me to better assist my friends and family, with computer problems, from the other side of the country.

mndude says:

Pocket cloud would allow me to connect to my work and home PCs wherever I am. thanks Wyse!!!!

DaEXfactoR says:

PocketCloud is a useful tool for me. I am on call for emergency service for my company. If a customer call after hours And needs machine parts because they have a breakdown, I can check inventory right from my Galaxy Tab. This is mostly effective because I almost always have my Tab with mesinc sinc it is more portable than my laptop. PocketCloud gives me a good case useful for the Tab, softening the blow of That $399price tag. Even though it great on the Tab,that extra real estate on the Tab would be awesome

hanasco says:

I tried posting but I don't think it ever did so I am going to repost. PocketCloud would be a great addition to my tech arsenal. One of the difficulties that I find is trying to keep files synched. With PocketCloud I would be able to accomplish this by having access to the same file instead of having multiple versions of the files spread over 3 or 4 computer systems.

bigdav1178 says:

As an IT administrator, I am expected to be available 24x7 to keep the company going, should a problem arise with our IT infrastructure. Now I have a laptop that comes home with me everyday, so that I can connect in remotely in the event of a problem - the thing is, my laptop does not go EVERYWHERE I go. That is the beauty of PocketCloud - I've got access to my IT resources anywhere I go; because it is on a piece of hardware (my Android-powered smartphone) that I always have on me, with connectivity that I can always count on. With PocketCloud, there is nearly never a time that I cannot perform my IT duties.

Now with the advent of Android tablets, my remote work can become even more convenient. While smartphone have the obvious portability advantage over laptops due to their size, the screensize can be a disadvantage. (Thank you Wyse for desktop scaling/zooming in PocketCloud!) Now with Wyse PocketCloud on a powerful Motorola Xoom tablet, I could have the best of both worlds - the convenience of a smartphone-like portability, and the pleasure of a display that is easy on the eyes. Perfect!

I use PocketCloud to show customers of mine the awesomeness of being able to connect to my desktop from my android phone and it usually helps seal the deal for them when I show it to them. If I had a tablet it would be a hundred times better.

brado says:

This will make my tech life so much easier...and will make me a better person too !

tbruno94 says:

Wyse with a tablet will help me daily as i work for a major telecommunications company and maintain hundreds of desktops across the world. We do security adjustments, maintain software, and teach users how to use current software.

prewanabe says:

I work in the medical field and lugging around my laptop is not realistic for work all day. The Motorola Xoom combined with Pocket Cloud will allow me to have access to any files I need on my laptop and desktop with the increased mobility, and ease of a tablet. Whenever I need to be somewhere quick I can always have whatever I need right there with me.

treogables says:

With the greatest sincerity, the way in which such a magical combination between the hardware of a tablet computer and the PocketCloud software will lead to revolutionize daily technology, a leap forward not seen since Al Gore created the "Internets."

Seriously, as an IT consultant, to be able to have complete access to my clients networks on the fly without having to lug around a full and bulky laptop, all while patiently waiting through boot cycles, just to offer no more than a few minutes of support would be .... Priceless.
