I get where Solu is coming from. They look at how joe public have embraced Chrome OS and see a gap in the market for people who perhaps don't want to trust Google with all their information, similar to Jolla's pitch. The challenge is how do you prevent Chromebook manufacturers from ripping off your hardware idea and simply releasing a Chromebox that doubles as a magic trackpad? What about those nifty new Windows phones that turn into a desktop computer when plugged into a dock? The challenges are great but I can see how easily it could succeed if implemented correctly and offering enough applications. Finding enough people willing to pay €20 a month to remain plugged into the matrix will be the hardest sell though.
