Don’t forget Google and Zoho…. Online presentations work wonders for business travel. They import Powerpoint… I still kept Linux on my netbook for speed/power/personal preference reasons over Windows.

Apple doesn’t even have a netbook sized computer yet. When are they going to crush this? 2015? Their efforts are on Snow Leopard and some un-needed new version of the iPhone that still won’t play Flash and won’t have a removable/replaceable battery and will run one app at a time.

uh… you DO get that from a netbook. depends which one (for 3g and battery).

the machines in that vide on the smart book site ARE netbooks or tablet MIDs. netbook is more of a size description, since they all come loaded with different operating systems and hardware. There are ones that have built in gps, 3g, and long battery life.

NO netbooks (smart books, tablets, MIDs) are NOT taking over the market. They are enhancing the MOBILE market of laptops and cell phones. I suppose re-categorizing the market to MIDs. You think netbooks are the only ones to sport built in GPS and cellular modems? Laptops too….Just bigger form factor. Which equals more power, bigger screen….A personal preference.

There’s no taking over any market. It’s just one big happy family!

It definitely looks cool, I’ve been following it for a while — but I don’t really care to know when my friends install/un-install apps. I also don’t really care (most times) who they are following. Plus they won’t have Jolicloud anyway….

It’s over-socialized in an empty room.

I tried out Moblin, which kicks arse. It’s buggy as hell, but it’ll get better.

I think Jolicloud is going to now be competing with Intel (Moblin) and Google (Android) in the upcoming months. VERY bad position to be in. Not to mention CloudOS.

I don’t like the word “cloud” in this sense because to me, it’s a network of servers that help hold up a service (usually a web site). Like Amazon, Rackspace, Google, Mesh, etc. NOT this mis-used version of it. I know it’s a network of computers…but they gotta use the word “social” more than “cloud” for what they’re talking about. It’s a network of people more than it is the computers. In my case, my friends mostly use OS X, so it’s a lonely network.

I would hope to see Apple come out with something better. The MacBook air is going in the right direction, and so is the iPhone.

I think with the rise of web-based development environments, like AppJet and Heroku – We will see a boom in these sales. I know there are Photoshop ‘alternatives’ running on the web.

Once we get a faster internet, and move towards compliance and standards, these little ‘web os’ platforms and netbooks are gonna be all the rage among the ‘tech crunch’ style crowd.

If you like using ineffective partially complete light weight web app alternatives to MS office, I won’t try to argue that you should change tools, but for all the wiser people, these half assed solutions just aren’t good enough.

I’ve been following Jolicloud for a while and I’m ecstatic about the alpha release.

I really agree with the driving energy behind Jolicloud and I think that the people who are worried about the absence of “offline usage” will be surprised when they see how little it matters. We’re sprinting into a state where everyone is connected 24/7/365. Put the load on the servers and make it so that you can go from machine to machine and use each as if they were your own PC.

These new OS’ along with releases of things like Google Wave, tell me that we’re really starting to innovate with Web 2.0.

Yes, it’s called a PAPERWEIGHT !!

Unless cloud-based presentation software does the job for you. If you need Office, I won’t try to argue that you should switch tools, but for a lot of younger people, native Office software’s inconveniences outweigh the benefits. The trend where I sit is for leaner, simpler presentations, anyway.
