http://live.pirillo.com/ - Ubuntu and Linspire better be on alert: Zonbu is on the way.
Earlier today Chris received the Zonbu "Green PC" as part of a special beta program. The Zonbox is a small, noiseless machine running a customer Linux distribution. As Chris put it "this is what Linspire should have been."
Zonbu says "being green doesn't have to make you blue:"
Welcome to a new generation of environmentally responsible computing. Zonbu is ready to go right out of the box. All you need is a broadband connection. Nothing to install. Nothing to buy. Nothing but fun and foolproof ways to get more out of your digital life.
Zonbu is a compact, ultra low power mini with all the bells and whistles:
- Intel-compatible ultra-low power CPU
- 512 MB RAM + 4GB flash-based local storage
- Graphics up to 1400 x 1050 (16 million colors). Hardware graphics and MPEG2 acceleration
- PC-compatible ports for keyboard and mouse
- 6 USB ports to plug-and-play all standard USB accessories
- Broadband ready: 10/100MB Ethernet built-in
For $99 and $12.95 per month you get to run Zonbu. The monthly subscription fee gives you access to the Zonbu service, which includes updates to your drivers, applications, and OS. In addition to the automatic updates, Zonbu also encrypts and stores your information on a "disaster proof" backup server, so in case your Zonbox doesn't work anymore you can still access your data.
It sounds really cool, what do you think?
