    The Cleversafe client is designed to be embeddable into mobile linux devices like mobile phones, media players, cameras, cars, etc. We (I am one of the Cleversafe developers) believe that more data and more critical data will move to mobile devices over time and a dispersed storage grid to store all that data will thus become increasingly important.
