Will the litl make it big?

,----[ Quote ]
| What it is: With recent news about the 
| Internet-connected CrunchPad (now called 
| JooJoo), I thought it was interesting that the 
| litl has already been shipping. Basically the 
| same concept (except this is a notebook rather 
| than a tablet with a touchscreen), the litl is 
| meant to be an Internet computer (or 
| "Webbook"), accessing its applications across 
| the Internet. There's no hard drive for 
| installing applications (there is some small 
| memory for content caching), no optical drive 
| and it runs on a Linux operating system instead 
| of Windows or Macintosh.

| Litl hasn't said what OS the Webbook uses,
| but it certainly has a Moblin look about it,
| with its presentation of website bookmarks,
| contacts, media files, social networking
| accounts and so on as on-screen widgets. It
| has true widgets too.
