The Jolicloud started back in 2010 as an underground project, but they have made a lot of progress on it. The company behind Jolicloud have been working hard on the Joli OS, and now we hear about the “Jolicloud platform”.

In the next upcoming update of the Joli OS, it will have the “personal cloud”, which allows users to access information from their iPhone, Android Phone, tablet and your computer or anything connected with the Joli OS cloud. These are some major upgrades since last year where we just saw the Joli OS starting out and being demonstrated. It’s quickly becoming a popular underground operating system.

The owners behind Jolicloud have also made the Joli OS open source for any users who want to try it out to give it a whirl. You can visit JoliCloud’s website and signup for the beta to get your copy of the OS.
