You know, cuz there aren't enough OSes on these forums…

CC-Droid

Different, because it's built for a platform that doesn't yet exist! The PDA/Laptop/Portable Thing! And because it's a PDA, it can't possibly run NDF or something. Too many pixels.

It's not actually a full operating system - I don't think that's really possible in CC without overwriting some important files, but CC-Droid will be to CraftOS what the MS-DOS Executive was to DOS - a horrible amalgamation of a desktop environment, operating environment, and bits of an operating system.

Here's a random picture of the home screen from my screen-designing Word document:

I'll be really disappointed if Cloudy doesn't add a PDA…

I'm really looking forward to this. I really do hope too that Cloudy does implement PDAs! :D/>

The notification links actually take you to "apps"!

I'm really looking forward to this.
Looking forward to this (CC-Droid) or PDAs?

It looks nice, but you're assuming you know what size the PDAs will be, and they aren't even officially confirmed yet. Good luck anyway.

Well, it's official that Cloudy's working on a portable computer, and this uses screen size to calculate locations, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm just feeding it a dummy screen size for now.
