其實之前已經聽說過了,不過我親眼看仍舊很驚訝﹗真的推出了Google PC﹗

Everex製造的gPC,有Keyboard、Mouse、一對speakers,gPC還是一部Green PC,有省電的設計。不過最令人感興趣的都是gOS,在ZDNet看到的照片,其實是Ubuntu 7.1 Linux的OS,不過也確認了Google會推出OS的決心。

TechCrunch得知,gOS的用途是﹕

What makes it stand out, however, is GOS, a version of Linux specially made to run Google applications like GMail and Google Documents. It also runs OpenOffice, an open-source office suite that can handle Microsoft Word documents, and some multimedia applications.

The interface features an intuitive desktop interface with a set of icons. Clicking on the Map icon, for example, brings up Google Maps. The ostensible goal is to move much of the processing from the PC to the Internet.

與Linux與Mac OS 10.5 Leopard…當然有點不同啦,不過看到的排列方法、icons的大小,也令人覺得Vista是…..

最令人佩服的地方是gPC不只是合適在找平平平原則的人,而是一些想一插電後,就可上網、check email、bloging、到Google Map、開啟文件檔案 (已install OpenOffice啦﹗)…真的很方便。

可惜的是,gPC仍只在美國Wal-Mart買得到 (還不相信已開售了?)。還有,是不包顯示屏的部分。

有點心動?先看看它的Spec再想吧。
