Earlier this week, DeviceVM and our Splashtop Product got to spend some time at the China Linux Developer Symposium. According to my co-worker and friend, Shawn, there were about 300 people who attended. There were about 7 or 8 booths and Splashtop represented our instant-on system at one of them. Eric and Evrin (pictured above) handed out hundreds of business cards and talked to many press about the value of having your web applications at your finger tips seconds after hitting the power button.
Other groups that attended included the OLPC team. They were giving plenty of demos. This category of ultra-mobile/affordable PC is one that is really heating up. We got an OLPC in the San Jose office and played with it quite a bit. It has a very unique interface.
This picture also caught my eye. Shawn nabbed this one as Evrin was playing with something by a company called RedFlag Linux. Apparently, they are running their OS on a Samsung UMPC. You can see it is very iphone-like. It looks very cool.
Thanks, Shawn, for all the photos and info!
