Splashtop Instant On - Instant Off
On last week's web show, I talked about how excited I was with a new technology called Splashtop. Adam sent me the site earlier last week, and since then my mind and ideas have been flying.
Splashtop was developed by a private company called Device VM. They work with hardware and software developers to bring their ideas to the market. Splashtop is being billed as a computer's alter ego to the operating system (aka Windows, Linux, etc). Instead of booting all the way into your operating system (2 minutes plus), you can choose to boot to the Splashtop which, at the moment, runs a customized version of Mozilla Firefox and Skype.
When you choose to start your computer into Splashtop, you can be browsing the Internet in seconds. Everything you can do on the web is available. When you finish, hit the off button and the system shuts off instantly.
I am really excited about the possibility for Splashtop because I have been talking and writing a lot recently about the need for simpler computers. With all the computing we can do on the Internet today, there really is no need for a vast majority of computer users to deal with the complexities and cost of an operating system.
Take a look at the Splashtop web site and watch their video below and then let me know what you think by leaving a comment below.

This Would be handy
Splashtop would be handy during the day if I could password protect entry into it.
I have been having to shutdown my computer alot because I do not want my son to have access.
He visits alot of porn sites and other sites that are loaded with viruses and such, so I have had to password protect my computer so he can't even turn it on.
I wish I could use something like splashtop, during the days he is here so I could be online instantly.
This would be cool !
