What if you could have an iPhone-style interface on your netbook? Not necessarily touchscreen-powered, but based around clear, easy-to-read icons and a distinct lack of clutter? Well, it’s on its way – and it’s called Jolicloud.
Developed by Netvibes founder Tariq Krim, it’s a stripped down, Linux-based OS with a custom browser. Basically, it’s designed to simplify netbook use, but we’ve only seen blurry snapshots of how it looks – until now.

HTC has officially launched a second-gen version of the Touch Cruise, dubbed the, er, Touch Cruise. It’s an HSDPA-toting Windows Mobile 6.1 smart phone with, as you’ve probably guessed, a large touchscreen.
The screen is 2.8 inches wide, to be precise, and comes with HTC’s not-quite-multi-touch TouchFLO tech. Also on board is a 3.2-megapixel fixed focus camera, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, Wi-Fi, assisted GPS and a microSD slot.
We’ve heard rumours and rumblings about Sony launching a new model in its Alpha range of digital SLR cameras for a while, and the online buzz this week suggests that the new model will be the A800, a 15.2-megapixel body that will replace the current A700 model.
The BlackBerry Storm is due a new software update any day, but it won’t just deliver bug fixes, it’ll add a whole new QWERTY keyboard for use in portrait mode.
