I’ve been eagerly awaiting information on the upcoming Jolicloud OS and finally we can see what this cloud oriented OS brings to the table. Sascha has a great video of the Jolicloud alpha over at Netbooknews.com. The 14 minute video gives a very nice overview of Jolicloud, which Sascha is calling a ‘social OS’. I have to agree that Jolicloud looks like it is much more than just another Linux distro with a netbook orientation. They are really bringing the concept of cloud computing into the OS itself.

Sascha from Netbooknews.de (and more recently the English version, Netbooknews.com) is down on the ground in Taipei checking out the latest and greatest from Computex. A quick video from Sascha shows us an upcoming laptop form-factor device running an interesting combination of hardware and software.

I’ve started at the quiet end of Computex today which is probably a good thing to do when it’s your first time. I’ll move the main hall tomorrow because later today we’ve got the Intel Keynote and Mobility presentation. One thing I did check out though was the Intel WiMax stand where there were a range of devices. The Viliv S5, X70 and S7 were there along with the Benq MID that’s available in Italy. I had heard that XP was working on it but I hadn’t seen it in […]
