Internet,
Internet, Internet
The treasure trove of the Internet all at your fingertips. Surf, chat, hang
with friends, book a date, pick up music. Wherever you want to go, Zonbu
will take you there with:
State-of-the-art
Web Browser Firefox — touted by CNET,
"Mozilla Firefox is the dream Internet browser you've been looking for. If
you're fed up with the latest Internet Explorer security patch issued from
Microsoft or with the latest virus to capitalize on some flaw in IE, you
should switch to Firefox — now."
Full-featured
Email and Calendar program — recommended by About.com, "Evolution looks and feels like Outlook, and it
has great email features." Get up and running in moments with the Zonbu data
import/export wizard, and transfer all your email history from Outlook or
Outlook Express.
Single-stop
Instant Messenger that works with AOL,
MSN, Yahoo, ICQ and IRC networks. So, forget about keeping buddy lists for
every IM network, find everyone in one place.
Pre-installed Internet phone service
Skype — recommended
by CNET, "Anyone familiar with instant messaging will quickly come to love
Skype, a free and easy-to-use P2P Internet phone app." Skype provides free
calling from your Zonbu to any PC and low-cost calls to landline and mobile
phones.
Peer-to-Peer clients

productivity
Write a letter, crunch some numbers, whip up a presentation. Crank up the
volume and crank out your masterpiece using delightful tools and
OpenOffice.org, the open source alternative to Microsoft Office with rave
reviews, touted as "Slick and highly compatible with Microsoft Office file
formats" by PC Magazine.
Word Processor — use for anything from
writing a quick note to producing an entire book. Open and save Microsoft Word documents.
Spreadsheet — a powerful spreadsheet
program with all the tools you need to calculate, analyze, and present your
data in numerical reports or sizzling graphics. Open and save Microsoft
Excel spreadsheets.
Presentation — fast, powerful software
for creating effective multimedia slide presentations. Open and save
Microsoft PowerPoint presentations.
Draw — a drawing
program that lets you produce everything from simple diagrams to dynamic 3D
illustrations.

queries, and reports.

Acrobat Reader — view PDF files.
Personal Finance Manager, described as "a very powerful alternative" by Linux.com. Manage your checkbook and your personal finances.
Multimedia
Snap away and keep all your digital photos organized and ready to share with
friends. Get into the groove of your favorite song, or kick back and watch a
movie. All the while enjoying the peace of mind that comes with knowing that
all your photos, music and movies are automatically backed up by Zonbu.
Music
Library. Import, organize, play, and share your music. Rip
CDs, play and sync your iPod and other portable music players, create play
lists, and burn audio and MP3 CDs. Also supports podcasting, smart playlists,
music recommendations, and much more.
Media
Player — Softpedia says "MPlayer Rocks!" Read MPEG2, MPEG4 and DVD files.
Since Zonbu is so small, there's no built in DVD drive, so pick up an external DVD drive when you check out.
Photo Organizer came to the rescue for this LinuxJournal user, "Our photo collection
was an unorganized mess. Thankfully, F-Spot came to our rescue in a big
way." A full-featured photo management application lets you import photos
from any of more than 700 cameras. Intuitive tools help you share, touch-up,
find and organize your images.
A couple of other tools — Sound Recorder and Recording Level Monitor.
Publish
yourself
With Zonbu's web publishing suite, gather your images, brainstorm your prose
and express yourself — professionally or with a touch of flair. Release the
artist within. Be heard. Make a difference.
Enhance images
in Image Workshop, described by PC Magazine as a "Robust set of
image-editing tools." A photo editing program with an interface similar to
Adobe Photoshop.
Create a webpage with
Web Page Editor,
recommended by Buzzys.net, "Nvu is a great web page editor which
incorporates WYSIWYG along with spell checking, publishing controls and an
excellent interface!" An alternative to Microsoft Front Page or Adobe
Dreamweaver.
Desktop publishing, touted by
LinuxDevCenter as "A worthy competitor to the print industry's premier
layout programs for the PC and Mac — PageMaker and QuarkXPress." Design and
publish newsletters, magazines, catalogs, posters and other printed pages
that feature designer fonts, graphics, photographs, or other images.
