Combine the iPhone with virtualisation software, and you have a marketing dream — a notion not lost on start-up MokaFive. On Monday, MokaFive began offering early access to its iPhone Sentinel software, which lets people grab their entire Windows desktop and dump it on an iPhone.

All of your files, settings and software are turned into a single package that can be stored on an iPhone and restarted on a regular computer. Sentinel makes sure that all the virtual desktop files stay synchronized as you move between various machines. The technology is similar to software which makes it possible to store a full operating system and applications on a memory stick and just run the software from that device. In this, the iPhone functions as a memory stick and MokaFive offers up the sophisticated synchronization tools along with other software that speeds up the virtual desktop when it's running on a computer.
