vooodoo Did you see it? One of the coolest notebooks of all time? The one that HP is going to put up against the MacBook Air? The one that's all carbon fiber with backlit keys? It has a little something on it called Voodoo IOS which gets you online seconds after you hit the power button. Sound familiar? It should because Voodoo IOS is Splashtop. That's right, we teamed up with the folks over at HP to bring the Voodoo Envy something that is both unique and incredibly functional - just like the notebook itself. There are a lot of things that get me very excited about Splashtop. We have a team of brilliant engineers who have made it possible for our OEM partners to make Splashtop their own. Different OEMs have different target markets and goals. We give them the ability to customize the Splashtop experience for their users. With HP Voodoo you have an example of a team that wanted to give a very slick, high-end experience to really match the spirit and soul of some incredible industrial design. We've already been getting great feedback on this product. Here's a live overview on a pre-production version that Laptop Magazine did on YouTube: As we search the web for feedback, we see this from Now Magazine. It has a staggeringly meaty specs and a super-strong outer casing, but its greatest feature is the Voodoo IOS (Instant-On Solution), which offers instant access to your Internet browser and Skype without having to fully boot up Windows. G4 did some great coverage of the Voodoo and the IOS (it gets good around 3:40): If you're unboxing a Voodoo Envy and take a video, let us know and we'll feature it on the blog! Congratulations everyone on a great launch of another exciting product.

[...] Yes, I know we’ll always have at least an OS and a browser of some sort.. although if Google has their way, the bowser will become the OS.   And if innovators like DeviceVM have their way,  I can use a Splashtop-blessed  Netbook or lightweight Green PC and even feel good about it. [...]
