People should get it – Jolicloud is just another Ubuntu distro

Many people, thanks to the wonderful support from Techcrunch (search result) and plethora of other tech blogs, have been made to believe that Jolicloud is the best netbook OS out there, whereas it is just another Ubuntu distro with few additional apps that are merely just a bookmark to some particular web-service.

Few features of Jolicloud everyone is talking about:

Prism apps:

These apps are quite stupid. Click Google Reader or Gmail app and they will be running in a standalone window, using firefox to display them. Nothing revolutionary here, except for the fact that it eats more RAM. So, no strong integration beyond providing icon-based launcher.

SONY VAIO Pocket Style PC “P series” review

Few months back, we did the unboxing of the VAIO P. However, since then, we did not ever published its full review. We have criticized VAIO P heavily (see THIS), but we need to understand one fact that is VAIO P is a crop of its own.

Anyway, been using VAIO P from past few months, I am now fully aware of its pros and cons. Now, how is the immediate out of box experience.

Netbooks should have 3G and Windows 7 – Linux doing no good?

Those are not my words, but from the Lenovo worldwide competitive analyst, Matt Kohut. According to Kohut, the netbooks must come equipped with a 3G module and Windows 7 is a must-have for netbooks.

Kohut said that netbooks that will come with Windows 7 will push the linux out of the market. This is a baseless comment. I’m pretty sure that those who have given a try to the latest Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix are very impressed with it. Windows and Linux, both have their own separate pros and cons. Making such a blunt statement will do no good for Lenovo. Here are his exact words

people “didn’t know what to do” with Linux, and that despite it saving them between $50 to $100 per netbook, Linux loaded lappies were returned in droves.

Most of the netbooks that come with Linux are bundled with the required Windows XP drivers so that in case the users find the linux a little awkward to use, they can always switch back to more familiar XP.
