ABI: 163 million Smartbook shipments in 2015
,----[ Quote ]
| Qualcomm, Freescale, NVIDIA, Texas
| Instruments, and other chip-makers are
| pushing the smartbook concept pretty
| heavily. Lenovo and HP are expected to
| launch some of the first smartbooks in the
| US in the next few months. And if you donât
| get hung up on the âbookâ side of things, I
| suppose you could make the case that iPad
| is a smartbook without a keyboard.

Canonical Taps Enlightenment for Ubuntu ARM Devices
,----[ Quote ]
| The UI won't look a great deal different to
| end users familiar with the Ubuntu Netbook
| Remix. Bennett says that it's a "direct
| clone of the UI found in the 9.10 Karmic
| release on i386." Users testing Ubuntu 10.4
| alphas can test the launcher now by
| installing the netbook-launcher-efl
| package. The most recent Ubuntu 10.4 alpha
| release came out on Thursday, February 24.

A Prism for Jolicloud: Web-Centric Desktop Apps
,----[ Quote ]
| I recently bought a netbook and installed
| Jolicloud, a Linux/Ubuntu distro designed
| as a replacement for, or companion to,
| Windows. Jolicloud was a revelation,
| something fresh and new in the seemingly
| snail-paced world of desktop computing. The
| bold idea of Jolicloud is that the browser
| is the operating system. It's all you need
| and you don't need to even think about it.
| The browser is a core service that supports
| all applications but it can recede into the
| background and let applications take the
| foreground.

New Graphical Interface for Ubuntu on ARM
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is the operating system of choice for
| devices with ARM processors. Unfortunately
| problems with graphics appear in most
| cases. Ubuntu wants to fix this with a new
| GUI.
|
| No matter if a smartphone, smart netbook or
| embedded device, most hardware with an ARM
| CPU is currently running Linux. It's
| natural that Ubuntu therefore wants a large
| slice of the ARM pie, but, like many GUIs,
| is running into resistance from graphics
| drivers that in many cases don't support
| direct rendering
