Goowy is a web-based operating system. Written in Flash, Goowy has been designed and developed by four developers since March of 2005. It is a closed system that seems to try to build off of the mac UI(with bouncing icons and such). It comes complete with an instant messenger, email, contacts, calander, news/rss, and file storage. It even gives you your own email address. username@goowy.com. Sounds like A great deal? Well lets look at it:
Plus side of Goowy(compared to other webOSes)
- Easy to use GUI
- Useful applications
- Good amount of storage(2GB)
- Easy way to access email
Down side of Goowy(compared to other webOSes)
- No current way to develop for it
- Not many applications
- Requires Flash(it makes it look good but it is easier to use other webOSes such as eyeOS or YouOS
Conclusion:
It is a very nice service and the developers have put a lot of work into it. It really is a nice experience. With that said there are flaws such as you cant develop for it, leaving the developers with the server side, user end, and all the apps. It is worth a try but before settling on anyone WebOS please check out the other Weboses(we have previously reviewed eyeOS and YouOS)
