Google Chrome is an interesting choice. It was envisioned as the new OS for low-power netbooks to compete with Windows and popular Linux flavors, not mobile computing like phones and tablets. It won’t be able to leverage Android’s popularity, especially for relative ease of use and applications.

Prediction: Within 24 hours of release someone will have Android running on it and an image will be posted to the Internet for people to download and install. Within a couple of years, Chrome will be forgotten, any technologies rolled into Android.

I think you are right.

I cannot imagine WHY Google would be so schizophrenic on having two different OS’s for devices?

Part of the magic is iOS runs everything for Apple’s NON PC line.

Is this Google saying Android has problems and we cannot get it to DO all things iOS does so we need our own skin over Linux for an OS? Or is it that they want a Tablet that IS a computer and not really a “device” like iPad?

Still trying to figure this one out.
