Chrome OS Smartbooks Coming 2H2010
,----[ Quote ]
| They're reporting that Pegatron Technology
| has received a "large volume" of smartbook
| orders from several different clients. It's
| believed these smartbooks will launch in Q1
| 2010 on several different carriers. These
| first smartbooks are expected to cost
| around $200 USD. Most of them will sport a
| Linux OS, due primarily to their tiny
| display size. Now, here's where things get
| interesting;
|
| "Google Chrome OS-based smartbooks are
| expected to be available on a large scale
| in the second half of 2010, Shu added."

Having complained about Google Checkout...

| ... because of its opaqueness in certain
| circumstances (and more to say when next I am
| at a computer), let me mention a different
| Google project notable for its
| transparency. That is the "Chromium OS" --
| a new operating system optimized for
| "netbooks," which was announced yesterday
| as an open-source development project.
| Google has made the source code available
| free, along with some design documents and
| results of early user testing. First video
| below is the hour-plus announcement
| session. At the bottom is a three-minute
| product intro.

Five Reasons Google Chrome OS will Succeed
,----[ Quote ]
| How do you measure success, anyway? Tony
| argues that the Chrome Web browser hasn't
| caught fire, but that doesn't mean it isn't
| loved by the people who use it (myself
| included). I'm particularly interested to
| see if the operating system winds up in
| smartbooks, which are ultramobile PCs
| running on Arm-based chips. If that
| category takes off, Chrome OS could get a
| spot on the ground floor. Besides, Google
| said Chrome OS is intended, at present, for
| secondary machines. Even if people don't
| flock to it (and they won't), that doesn't
| make the operating system a failure.

Ubuntu's Canonical and Google partner to create Chrome

| Sources at Canonical tell me that

Google Chrome OS and Canonical
,----[ Quote ]
| Congratulations to Google on the open
| sourcing of Google Chrome OS
|
| When Chrome OS was announced in June we saw
| this as a positive development, bringing
| choice to the consumer. We considered how
| open source development is as much about
| co-operation as it is about competition.
| Google have made it clear that they are
| keen to develop Chrome OS openly and we
| have had the pleasure of hosting a number
| of the Google team at the Ubuntu Developer
| Summit in Dallas over the last few days
| where we have been able to see that
| openness in action.

Google Chrome OS: Should Ubuntu and Canonical Worry?
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in July 2009, my initial blog entry
| about Google Chrome OS suggested that
| Google may wind up stealing Ubuntuâs
| thunder in selected market niches. Fellow
| WorksWithU Blogger Christopher Tozzi took
| the opposite stance, insisting that Google
| Chrome OS will help Ubuntu. But by August,
| I had changed my stance a bit telling
| readers that Google was both a rival and a
| friend to Ubuntu. I stand by that
| statement.

Google Chrome OS â Built on Linux!

Releasing the Chromium OS open source project
,----[ Quote ]
| Today we are open-sourcing the project as
| Chromium OS. We are doing this early, a
| year before Google Chrome OS will be ready
| for users, because we are eager to engage
| with partners, the open source community
| and developers. As with the Google Chrome
| browser, development will be done in the
| open from this point on. This means the
| code is free, accessible to anyone and open
| for contributions. The Chromium OS project
| includes our current code base, user
| interface experiments and some initial
| designs for ongoing development. This is
| the initial sketch and we will color it in
| over the course of the next year.
