Google Wave works ok on Jolicloud Os but screen is small

I just received my own Google Wave invite. So here is a capture of my waving on my Dell Mini 9 with Jolicloud , the Os for netbooks with Chrome Dev as browser (was not working on FF).

Gwave is quite "rigid" as it is in beta... everybody is looking for something: gadgets, extensions, edit, delete...

It is difficult to exploit it at the moment. Some say : "it is like IRC of 1998"...

My own thought, now: the screen is too small as the resize is offered by Gwave.

My ideas on what Jolicloud is and is not

This is a Sunday post on Jolicloud, the new easysimple Web OS for Netbooks.
So, no data, but just ideas ... in disorder ;-)

• The Alpha 2c version of Jolicloud by Tariq Krim's team is really just an alpha, let's say a general test before the real thing can come out.
  
• 96% of all Netbooks sold are now shipped with ... no, not Linux, but old Windows XP.
  
• I do not believe that an experienced entrepreneur as Tariq Krim, has chosen to compete with Microsoft and Google and ... Linux just to do a Ubuntu Netbook Remix in a "delux" version.
• Open Source is not the future. Open Source is here but ... not all players are the same in Open Source game. I tend to trust less Microsoft Open Source than other players ;-)
• The Social side of Jolicloud will not be imposed and, for sure, it is not what we see now.
• JoliCloud is targeted to the "general public" that means that you should not need to be a Linux geek to use it. For sure most of the future "normal users" will come from Window/Google worldsmore than Apple/Linux.
  
• Jolicloud is an Internet operating system, not a device OS.
• HTML5 , the upcoming major revision of the HyperText Markup Language (HTML), the main method of marking up content for sharing on the World Wide Web., is going to change the Web as we know it now.
• Technological convergence, the tendency for different technological systems to evolve towards performing similar tasks, is arriving at an interesting point with the jonction of mobile phones - smartphones - netbooks - laptops - .... with similar OS and same Applis.

Well, now is time to out ! Bye.

Testing Google Wave on Jolicloud

Thanks to a friend that passed me his invitation, I am testing Google Wave (Developer alpha release) with ... Jolicloud alpha release, the easysimple OS for netbooks.

Google Wave is a new tool for communication and collaboration on the web, coming later this year in Beta.

I have tested Google Wave on XP and now on Jolicloud and, for now, I do not see many differences.

Well, Google Wave is certainly a better email/chat and collaborative tool but I have not already seen all the espected New World coming out of it. You can insert images, videos, searches in the email/chat and see other react in real time. You have an history of previous changes...

I will continue to test it and if you have an account and want to test it with me just send me your username ;-)
