Jolicloud Uncovers Multi-touch features of Eee PC 701
A post written by | No Comments »
Jolicloud is an operating system specially designed for netbooks. It is a lite OS based on Linux, though I’m not sure if it’s Ubuntu but it’s very much similar. It also features a netbook remix UI. I got an invitation to try the new Jolicloud Alpha release for developers a week ago, and today I installed it to a thumb drive and had a test run on my Eee PC 701.
Jolicloud OS on Eee PC 701 supports multi-touch feature
Now, we pretty much know that the Asus Eee PC 701 doesn’t support multi-touch feature. The multi-touch feature was actually introduced during the days of the Eee PC 900 series. But it’s one thing I discovered today. Two-finger scrolling and 3-finger touch right click works on Eee PC 701 when using Jolicloud. Though it’s kind of hard to do the 3-finger right click because the touchpad of the Eee PC 701 is really small to do the trick. But I swear, it works. I also tried the zooming in and out feature but it’s not working. The mouse settings don’t provide other features aside from the usual basic configurations. This is really new to me so please forgive if I’m too much amused of it. I uploaded a crappy video on Youtube and it’s also available after the break.
