Verizon offers VMware Horizon Mobile virtual workspace to Android users

Verizon releases VMware Horizon Mobile virtual workspace on Intuition and Droid RAZR M

We’d heard talk long, long ago of Verizon hooking up with VMware for a virtual workspace on its smartphones, and we can at last say that it’s more than just chatter. Starting today, Verizon’s business customers can buy VMware’s Horizon Mobile for their Android devices. The solution gives corporate phones a common desktop with encrypted apps, data and policies that can’t be touched from the device’s regular environment. While this puts the Verizon-VMware partnership in competition with the likes of BlackBerry Secure Work Space and Samsung Knox, it won’t be a perfect match for those services: the two companies are asking $ 125 per person for Horizon Mobile, and the initial device support is oddly limited to the LG Intuition and Motorola Droid RAZR M (neither is pictured here). Nonetheless, the deal might be a good fit for companies that would rather tie their phones to a single carrier than any one hardware manufacturer.

Hands-on with Kingston’s DataTraveler Workspace at IDF (video presentation)

Handson with Kingston's DataTraveler Workspace at IDF video

Exactly what’s this? Merely another USB 3.0 thumbdrive at IDF 2012? Not quite. You’re looking at Kingston’s DataTraveler Workspace, a storage gadget that integrates bona fide SSD modern technology not usually located in thumbdrives– like a lot of ultra fast flash memory and a SandForce controller that supports TRIM and S.M.A.R.T commands. As such, it shares more in typical with Kingston’s line of SSDs. It’s not truly created for data storage space– instead, it’s suggested to be used as a qualified Windows To Go repaired drive, “a fully manageable corporate Windows 8 workspace on a specifically configured, bootable USB drive”.

The concept is that business IT can easily use these thumbdrives to workers who can easily then run a safe, managed instance of Windows on a range of PCs with a bootable USB 2.0 (or faster) port. Another intriguing feature of Windows To Go is that Kingston’s DT Workspace thumbdrives can be removed for up to 1 minute without crashing Windows– the Operating System simply notifies the individual to “keep the USB drive plugged in” and continues where it left off. Rates continues to be a mystery, however the gadget will certainly be offered for company customers in 32, 64 and 128GB capacities when Windows 8 launches. Till then, you’re welcomed to peek at the gallery below and to see our hands-on video recording past the break.

Microsoft patent application details pico projected shared workspace, sounds vaguely familiar

“Combined Surface User Interface” is a cool little patent application filed by Microsoft back in 2010, detailing the creation of a shared workspace stitched together by pico projectors attached to mobile devices. Users can interface with the projected area through motion captured on a camera. If the whole thing sounds a bit familiar, don’t worry, you’re not crazy. Earlier in the month, a patent application from Apple surfaced carrying the “Projected Display Shared Workspaces” title, detailed a fairly similar scenario. Interestingly, the two applications were filed a week apart, Microsoft’s on February 3rd, 2010, and Apple’s on February 11th of that year. It’s important to note, before jumping to any conclusions, of course, that the granting of patents in a case like this doesn’t hinge on the filing date.

BendDesk: the curved multitouch workspace of the future (video)

The Media Computing Group — otherwise known as the dudes and dudettes responsible for making multitouch hip again — is back, and some might say better than ever. The BendDesk is an outlandish new concept workspace for the future, relying heavily on a curved multitouch display to bring the wow. The desk is the Group’s vision of merging multitouch with a common physical area, and it’s probably the best implementation we’ve seen yet. A full ten touch points are supported, but the lower portion is also designed to be used as a standard desk, holding your laptop, paperwork and ink pen collection if you so choose. Shockingly enough, the whole thing looks exceptionally ergonomic, too. Head on past the break for a glimpse of it being used, but don’t hold your breath waiting for a ship date and price — something tells us it’ll be awhile before either of those are published.

The Window Desk [Featured Workspace]

While we love a tech-filled geek cave, an elegant workspace with a great view makes working a pleasure. Today’s featured workspace has a beautiful desk, a pleasing environment, and a view of Boston.

Not everyone needs triple monitors or an army of peripherals and being able to work productively with just a laptop goes a long way towards having a clear and airy workspace—cable management is, at it’s best after all, camouflaging something that’s there to appear as if it isn’t.

Lifehacker reader CosmoComet, when he’s commuting and working from Boston proper several day a week, finds himself working at this nearly invisible glass and acrylic workspace—he can look right through his desk to see Beacon Street below. Check out a wider view of the workspace in the photos below.


If you have a workspace of your own to show off, throw the pictures on your Flickr account and add it to the Lifehacker Workspace Show and Tell Pool. Include some details about your setup and why it works for you, and you just might see it featured on the front page of Lifehacker.
