Hi Jason, my name is Josh and I'm with the Symantec
GoEverywhere project. I liked you article and you
bring up a few problems with NetBooks that I'd like to
address because I feel we at GoEverywhere have the
solution.
GoEverywhere is a webtop being created as an incubator
project at Symantec (currently in FREE beta http://cli.gs/UtJZWm). Our webtop connects your SaaS
subscriptions to one account and via a windows like
interface givse you access to them without having to
open multiple windows or tabs in your browser.
"Low-power CPUs that can?t handle extensive multi-
tasking" With GoEverywhere your online personal
workspace does the heavy lifting and connects to your
SaaS accounts.
"Minimal local storage (often SSDs with 32 GB or
less)" With SaaS you don't need to install any
software beyond your favorite browser and your files
are stored online & accessible from anywhere with an
internet connection. GoEverywhere is hosted at
Symantec so you don't need to download anything, just
connect it all together and use the internet (via
SaaS) as your PC and GoEverywhere as your OS.
If you switch back to your home PC, or your netbook
gets lost stole, damaged, etc and you get a new one
you don't have to reconfigure anything. Just sign back
into GoEverywhere and you're right back to where you
were.
Sorry we can't help with the other 2,but if we make
something that can help, I'll be sure to let you know.
