Bring your Videos and Music downloads with You

We just created two new LivePCs for you to play with. One is called PocketDemocracy. It is a pre-configured Democracy TV running on GenToo Linux. People called Democracy a "TiVo for the internet" or a "Firefox for videos." It allows you connect to all of the big video hosting sites and thousands of independent publishers.

Another one is called Songbird. It is a Ubuntu Linux with Songbird per-installed. Songbird is a desktop Web player, a digitial jukebox and Web browser mash-up. It is similar to Democracy but it is for online audio.

These two applications are in their alpha/beta versions and are getting a lot of buzz in the open source community. However, as a regular computer user, how often do you have the time (and knowledge) to debug and play with an open source application in their alpha/beta version? The idea here is with the moka5 LivePC technology, someone can put together a working version and share with the rest of the community. This is great for any software companies who want to showcase their product without spending a lot of resources on user supports.

Take a look at these two new LivePCs and see what is the latest trend in the open source and web mach-up world.
