New Web-Based Netbook From Litl — Based On Clutter, Uncluttered

Posted by timothy on Wednesday November 4, 2009 @09:24AM from the looks-nifty-will-it-ship? dept.

cananian writes "The webbook company of Gnome's own Havoc Pennington (with a healthy dose of ex-Nokia and ex-OLPC engineers) finally shed its secrecy today, with a new web site and an article in the WSJ. Technical specs on the hardware were found by Engadget last week, and now comes a bit more information on the software behind the UI. Most of the client software is written in JavaScript with GTK/Clutter bindings, and the UI has some superficial similarities to Pentagram's designs for OLPC's Sugar."

Let me be the first to say that this thing's gonna be huge!
Really? Why?
It looks like a regular Atom netbook... Why pay $700.00USD when you can get a netbook with similar specs for half that price...
Dude, it's a joke.
Litl is going to be huge. Get it? Little? Huge! Ha. Haha.
Heh....
...Okay, you're right. I totally get why you missed that.
That wasn't so much 'whoosh' as 'wha-atever'.
