g.ho.st review

Recently I was looking at g.ho.st a cloud based virtual desktop. It was started off by Israeli-Palestinian collaboration based at Ramallah and considered to be the only joint Palestinian and Israeli technology Startup company...cool.
What kind of website is this?...without a .com or .org ending...yeah I got that question...wiki answers this:
"Its name is an acronym of Global Hosted Operating SysTem. The URL G.ho.st is a domain hack using the Sao Tome and Principe .st country extension."

They wanted it like tht...looks different. wiki also says:

"The G.ho.st service provides, over the Internet, a working environment that mimics the classic desktop provided by personal computer operating systems. As an internet based service, users are able to create, save and return to a working environment from different physical computers and mobile phones."

OK. so it works on mobile phones as well...thts cool indeed. I guess people who have IPTVs with web browsers can also try it. I am planning to buy a sony PS3 soon...I will try on tht.
It got lot many features...
some cool features listed here
You can login open windows and logout and when you login next time you get all those earlier open windows and session. What particularly impressed me is the cool graphics and eye candy desktop and apps. Other thing is file sharing. I find many videos, music and stuff in the shared folders.
You can upload your own files and share.

Its based on Amazon Web Services and heres few images for you which I captured from firefox browser on my opensolaris desktop.

Initial screen when you go to g.ho.st

after login. You can see a browser window and few widgets on desktop

IM which support gtalk, ym, msn, aim

The good part is shared folders. You can see I am trying to play a share video
