The Cloudbook modding begins; enter the “Dreambook”

Cloudbook Modding

We saw the Eee PC pick up an incredible, almost cult like following and with that came more mods and hacks than most of us could even imagine. It has taken some time, the Cloudbook has gotten off to a slow start, but that seems to be coming to an end. A decent community is starting to get going behind the Cloudbook, albeit not as large or devoted as the Eee PC has, but still its getting there and I am sure it will continue to grow with time. With the community getting behind the Cloudbook we are beginning to see some cool new mods, along with some tips and tricks that make the gOS-based ultra-portable a little more user friendly.

Being dubbed the “Dreambook” a user by the name of Azazel has added some very cool mods including a touchscreen display, internal 4-port USB hub, a GPS unit and 4GB’s of internal memory via a flash memory stick. In this case the internal webcam suffered and was removed due to the need for some extra space, but with all those other goodies on the inside I am sure its very easy to live without a 0.3-megapixel webcam. Very good news on the “internal” Cloudbook front, according to Azazel “there is a lot of room to work with!” Sounds good to us, while I am not quite brave enough to tear into mine, I am excited to see what the future brings.

If you are interested in the Cloudbook or looking for some cool stuff the user forums over at Cloudbooker is a great place to check out the budding community.
