As you already know, I am a computer systems engineer, so my blog will have some information about the new technologies from time to time ;-).
I am going to start with the new operating system, Ubuntu 9.04, or Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope, the name came from a legendary American animal called Jackalope, which is a mix between deer and a killer Rabbit, anyway, the new operating system will be released on April 23rd, the system looks very promising, with very high performance, 14 sec to boot up, 6 sec to shutdown and much more, the numbers are really good and it beats Windows Seven under all conditions, with Windows Seven on the door, some rumors say it will be released on the end of July, the competition will be strong, especially if Windows Seven turn out to be a new version of windows vista, which was pure failure, people for sure will consider other alternatives.
I myself didn't try it, but I am definitly going to, here a video showing Notification (one of the new features in Ubuntu 9.04):
The second thing I am going to talk about today is the new mobile operating system,which was announced by Palm Inc.,The announcement took a place at the Consumer Electronics show, when they unvieled their new product Palm Pre, the new Palm runs the new operating system, WebOS.
WebOS sounds very promising, and the first impression is more than great, this OS took them more than five years of developments, and it was developed before the iPhone which runs MAC OX10, the new OS will definitely push the vendors to develop more intelligent operating systems.
Will this be the "iPhone killer"? Maybe, also it will compete with Android, as it supports duel touch unlike Android, on the other side Android is open source, which allows the developers to develop more complex programs such as 3D games.
Palm Inc. will release an SDK called Mojo SDK, and on April 1 2009, Palm announced the availability of Palm OS emulator.
Finally, before I forget, WebOS is got linux in the heart of it! and is going to be released at the first Quarter of 2009.

I just hope they will solve the problems with the hibernate and sleep of the last ubuntu (kernel 2.6.29-). Those services are really annoying if you have a geforce card !
ReplyDeleteI hope palm new OS will be a competitor for Iphone's mac OS. But i still support android more for one thing, being in the open handset alliance.

hey cousin, what every problems Ubuntu have, I am sure you can find more in windows :D.
ReplyDeleteAs for the android, I support it to the death, but the new Palm OS is really impressive.
Cheers
