I believe gOS space to be discontinued. gOS seems to be focusing on intutive google gadget desktop design, and moving away from the "cloudbook" approach. While cloudbook can be highly appluasing for netbooks, the gOS Space as far as I have seen requires an intensive graphics card, something that I have been unable to provide for the gOS Space. So I dont expect to see netbooks bundled with gOS Space untill maybe later next year as when netbook technology improves.
