The team behind Jolicloud has announced that they are giving Jolicloud a new identity. Earlier, the name “Jolicloud” referred to the operating system. Now we have Jolicloud and Joli OS.

Jolicloud 1.1 will maintain the HTML5 interface that got it a lot of attention. However it will feature a lot of under the hood changes that should give it a faster boot, battery life and a lot of other features.

If you need a simple, fast, secure and sweet looking OS on your netbook, Jolicloud will be hard to beat. This is good news to netbook users who don’t want to be chained to Microsoft Windows.

Jolicloud is going for cloud storage and synchronization across all machines on which Jolicloud is installed. This makes installing apps, an install once and use anywhere phenomenon

Jolicloud Robby Pre-final has been released, it contains new webapp built on Chrome which supports HTML5, a new network manager and new desktop mode.

Jolicloud has switched from the Mozilla driven Prism platform to a Chrome-based web app platform, which is similar to the Google Chrome OS.
