I have no idea why, but this article on DigitalTrends.com refers to the Zonbu as the Zonbox. It's definitely the same product though. "I just got to mess with an incredible $100 PC that is being compared to Apple in terms of ease of use, uses Linux as its core OS (but conceals the complexity of Linux, much like OSX conceals the complexity of UNIX), and is at the outset, a Web 2.0 device leveraging heavily its connectivity to create the Apple experience for a fraction of the cost."I was messing around with a sample last week as well. I actually showed it to two female friends who use computers all the time, but are not technically-minded. I got them to open up the word-like program and the email program and have a play around. The way it is all set up, it doesn't just conceal the complexity of Linux, it conceals that it's not Microsoft. You can tell it's not Microsoft, but the position of icons are just so close to what people are used to, there's no confusion in working with the device. |
