Growth Opportunity

Xform is now poised to take a leading role in the huge transformations that are now underway in the PC, mobile, and Smart TV software spaces: It is no secret that smartphone and tablet sales are outpacing traditional PCs, and the form and role of the PC is set to change forever. Meanwhile, the market for other "Smart-screen" appliances such as Smart TVs and 'streaming boxes/sticks" such as Apple TV and ChromeCast are expanding ability to connect to mobile devices, and are growing exponentially. 
 
Example problem statement and use case: Smartphones, Tablets and Smart TVs are excellent capture and consumption devices. Users are increasingly capturing, creating and personalizing and attempting to share and collaborate with multi-media content for personal, social, and business reasons and in new ways at an exponentially accelerating rate. They are seekingways to create, collaborate and display/share content from the mobile device to other users (friends, or colleagues) - both nearby (e.g. in the same room/vicinity), across town or across the globe and whatever the best display is available (including Smart TVs). (Moreover it should also be noted that mobile/smart devices often cannot match the power and flexibility of a PC for tasks such as content creation, editing and creativity like documents, images, video, mixed-media, etc.). Users want to instantly share these experiences. 
Here's a brief video summarizing this opportunity:
 

This technology is also lead to other market transformations:
The market space we are approaching is large: 2.5B smart device owners by 2015.  Based on success of the current remote/virtual/cloud powered-App market space, we believe at least a third to half of smart-device owners are trying such remote/virtual/cloud powered App/solution within a year of getting their device. We have a big lead in technology, know-how, and market learning to get in front of theses users. 
For non-PC owners (the biggest part of smart-device growth forecast, over 1B users by 2015) this is a greenfield opportunity. With AlwaysOnPC as our starting point, our infrastructure can support as rich and compelling a UI/UX that our product imagination - along with our customers input - can create.
Also on the roadmap: For PC owners, we are considering "a move my PC to the cloud" offering (Yes, with Windows support!)
 
Xform provides this Cloud-Mobile solution today, and is adding a groundbreaking new dual-screen mobile+HDTV/monitor user experience. By offering several options, including “Move my PC to the cloud” service for existing PC owners, as well as new virtual PC in the cloud, both accessible from mobile devices and Smart TVs, we are creating a solution that can replace the desktop computer in many consumer and business enterprise and SMB markets.
 

Xform is meeting these user demands today with its powerful, cross-platform app streaming solution.
