Splashtop OS
Google came up with their Chroimium OS, and a beta got released of netbooks preloaded with it. Unfortunately, the hardware got sent out to a handful of testers, and the rest of us cannot buy in at any price. If you want to have your netbook on the cloud with a Chromium environment, then the [...]

It is not a stretch to think that 2011 will be the year of the tablet. However, the market is young, and it remains to be seen what the dominant platform will be, as so far Windows 7 has not been a smooth transition to tablethood. In addition, it is unclear what size works best [...]

Google tested the waters with their Chrome browser, and quickly started to gain market share as only the search engine giant can do when they enter a market. However, the Chrome browser is really a preview of something bigger, and there has been the promise of the Chrome OS. With the success of the Android OS [...]

While there has been much talk about smartbooks, they kind of never materialized. While the exact definition can vary, what sets them apart from netbooks is that they use a Linux based OS, and have an ARM chip, rather than the x86 one. Oh, and they are supposed to be even cheaper. Google had promised that [...]

When folks here that a netbook is running Linux, and they run in the other direction, unless they are some ubergeek. Not surprisingly, users are simply more comfortable with the familiar world of Windows on their netbook. However, that may slowly change. After all, we have accepted that the iPad runs on an Apple smarthpone OS. [...]

It has been confirmed that Google will be releasing Chrome OS netbooks. The targeted price is $300 to $400, which seems a little expensive given that the OS has gotta cost less than any version of Windows. They are expected to be available in early 2011. In the meantime, they are working on some carrier [...]

According to a recent DigiTimes report, Acer is already planning on releasing a Chrome OS based netbook sometime during the second half of 2010. Of course, that honestly does not come as much of a surprise because Acer has already shown some Google netbook love with their recently released dual-booting Android/Windows XP based Aspire One [...]

It looks like there has been some significant testing done on the recently made available Chromium OS, which for those who may not be as familiar, that is the open-sourced version of Chrome OS — and it is officially available as of now. Anyway, according to the Chromium developer site, there are quite a bit of [...]

17. November 2009 | by Jonas
The Google Chrome OS has been coming for a while now, but it wasn’t expected for a while yet. I kind of expected it to make a splash at CES in January. Combined with the right netbook, it could be a real screamer, as the manufacturer could use it to get around Microsoft’s artificial restrictions [...]
Continue reading...Google Chrome OS Coming Sooner?
With plenty of users less than thrilled with Windows 7 Basic Starter Edition, it may be good timing that the Google Chrome OS just might be making an appearance sooner than expected. With many frustrated that the newer Win 7 OS, at least the version that netbooks are shipping with are offering less, not more. [...]
