Considering the absolutely lackluster hardware present in the Everex gPC, it’s a tad difficult to get psyched up about the next revision of the gOS. Nevertheless, gOS 2.0 (or Rocket, as it were) is all set to launch on Monday at CES, and while there’s not much to phone home about, the inclusion of Google Gears is the most notable feature. The aforementioned bundle is an “online / offline synchronization technology from Google that enables offline use of web apps.” More specifically, users can look forward to gBooth (a browser-based web cam), integration with Facebook, shortcuts to launch Google Reader, Talk, and Finance on the desktop, an online storage drive courtesy of Box.net and Virtual Desktops, which is hailed as “an intuitive feature to easily group and move applications across multiple desktop spaces.” Additionally, Adobe Flash Player 9 for Linux will come preloaded, and if you’re so inclined, you can download the package yourself on January 7th.
