It's Toronto based so it can't be all bad


All Hail Qnext

The big news today will come from California, where Sun Microsystems and Google are scheduled to announce a partnership that pundits speculate will amount to a full-frontal assault on Microsoft. (See Mathew Ingram's column for the story.)

I wish they wouldn't make such predictions - there have been so many such predictions in the past that a new one had become little more than a cliche.

But it could be a fascinating partnership, and one with pockets deep enough to make something happen, even if it isn't toppling the Redmond monolith.

As a hint of what's to come, Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz's blog of Oct. 1 mentions a series of technologies that he thinks are ripe for a future not based on Windows - among them Skype, Google Earth and his own StarOffice. "There's a resurgence of interest in resident software that executes on your desktop," he said, "yet connects to network services."

Then he added another one: QNext, from a Toronto-based company. It's a small, Java-based peer-to-peer application combining instant messaging and file-sharing (though not on a network level).

QNext is an interesting program, and could well be on its way to a bright future. And how much brighter can you get than an endorsement from Sun Microsystems' CEO just before announcing what might be a major assault on Microsoft?

I wonder if large files can be resumed?

[mikerack]

File transfers of ANY size will resume if the connection is severed for any reason. As soon as both users are connected, it will automatically resume.

It's p2p (serverless), recent functionality has enabled open sharing of all content, while all communication and data transfers occur ate 192-bit encryption (I'm sure you know this is far beyond the banking standard for financial transactions - like the one, I apprently owe several of you, can we limit it to 1 bj though?) And finally, it is closed source with an SDK. Sandbox architecture lets any third-party developer create service and stream into any Qnext client.... that about sum it up?
