ExpressGate

I've seen numerous threads and forums for that matter about having a way to change/hack/improve expressgate. I found a linux forum where they've done some of that...I have read that anyone has been able to remap the expressgate button yet but they have been successful as adding applications to the OS, take a look at the forum, hope this helps those who were looking to do something like this....

Mobile Linux - Phoronix Forums

Don't know if anyone caught this...

SplashTop moves to MeeGo

DeviceVM has announced that its quick-boot Linux-based second operating system product SplashTop will be making the move to MeeGo Linux in the very near future.

Designed to offer a near-instant boot into a simple Linux-based OS for users who can't wait for their laptop to load Windows just to check their e-mails, SplashTop has proven popular with notebook manufacturers - to the point where it can be found on devices from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Sony, and more.

The move to MeeGo - Intel's Linux distribution of choice, born out of a coupling of Intel's Moblin netbook-oriented distribution and Nokia's Maemo tablet-oriented distribution - gives future SplashTop devices access to Intel's recently-launched AppUp application store platform.

The idea behind the move to Meego is for SplashTop users to be able to, in DeviceVM's words, "download, install and run hundreds of apps currently available from the Intel AppUp Centre," in much the same way as iPhone users have access to Apple's App Store.

Thanks for sharing. Though I have the ExpressGate I only used it a few times for testing purposes. Win 7 has much friendlier interface.

The only advantage of it is to boot up within seconds. However SSDs have decreased that gap largely...
