Netbook ACE

Designer Tariq Krim continues to build Jolicloud – a Linux-based operating system designs specifically for netbooks.  The operating system will be optimized to make use of web applications, such as Gmail, Zoho, Google Docs, etc and will provide large application icons to make navigating quick and simple.  At first glance, it looks eerily similar to the version of Ubuntu on my Dell Mini 9.

But, take a look at the top bar. Facebook-styled updates and what appears to be easily accessible online storage have a prominent place near the universal search bar.  Rumor has it that Jolicloud will be released later in 2009.
