Recent versions of Fobidden Technologies Forscene are looking promising. As much as i hate the UI and the back end admin side of things is a nightmare of design, the actual cloud editing section is pretty good. You can edit as you normally would, you can do basic grading on your pictures, add titles, do basic audio mixing (panning, keyframed volume etc.) and most recently, multicam is available. You can also use it to send documents and pictures etc - shooting scripts or graphic elements, that sort of thing. Your footage is uploading as soon as something hits your watchfolder (ISIS workspace etc). It's not a truely mobile system - you couldn't do Robert's example of super quick turnaround, although their Osprey codec is supposedly broadcast ready, but what you have is the ability, once ingested at a facility or production office, to edit quite complex sequences from just about anywhere (even with terrible internet connection) and then email an AAF to your post house for an instant relink. I think they're working on a tablet version too so iPad toting producers can feel awesome about themselves. If only they could sort out the interface... sigh.
