Google Chrome OS Netbook Assault Imminent

Google Chrome IconImage via WikipediaApple had its iPhone moment. Google had its Android moment. Apple had its iPad moment. There will be a ton of Android tablets, but Google's equivalent of the iPad moment, I believe, we are about to see: the arrival of the Chrome OS netbooks. The netbooks will aim at the tablet - where's the keyboard? - and they will take aim at Windows: why is the machine taking so long to startup?
PCR: Google preps Chrome OS netbook assault: a number of Chrome OS devices to arrive from Samsung, Acer, Asus, Toshiba and HP..... people looked to the web for most of their entertainment, communication and productivity tasks..... the lightweight, low power and low cost netbook ...... a spring clean in order to improve OS start times....."Android is very focused on the best mobile experience there is, Chrome is very focused on the best web experience there is." ..... the minimalist school of design ..... Chrome OS powered netbooks will be available for under $400. ..... 10-inch
There is talk this last decade belonged to Google and Apple, this next belongs to Facebook. I think this next belongs to Facebook and Google. To have both Android and the Chrome OS is pretty phenomenal. Google is running strong still. Windows, on the other hand.

I want the Chrome OS netbook to be super light, super cheap, and I want the screen to be big enough. This has to feel like a mobile device, something you feel okay carrying around. And there should be a small smartphone like screen that you see even when you have it shut. You should be able to place calls. Or a tablet-netbook two in one. Or a three in one: smartphone, tablet, netbook. I want my Chrome OS close, I want my Android closer.


Chrome OS Site: Chrome OS To Arrive In October: actual device sales will be much latter on in the year, most probably just before the Christmas holidays.

Whatever Happened To Google Wave?

CNet: Eric Schmidt On The Demise Of Google Wave
"Our policy is we try things," the Google CEO said, hours after the company announced it was halting development of the complex real-time communication tool. "We celebrate our failures. This is a company where it is absolutely OK to try something that is very hard, have it not be successful, take the learning and apply it to something new." ..... "As a culture we don't over-promote products...we tend to sort of release them and then see what happens." .... a panel in which he said that society is not ready for all the changes technology is foisting upon it..... a range of issues ranging from Android and Chrome OS to China to competition with Microsoft to a rumored deal with Verizon on Net neutrality.
My personal excitement over Google Wave ended on a personally unpleasant note. But that might have saved me some time.

Chrome OS: Round The Corner?

Google Chrome IconImage via Wikipedia
I am excited about the Chrome OS netbooks the way I never was able to get about the iPad. I hope they show up sooner rather than later. I have been saying for years now, the browser is all you should need.

I guess I am a Google fanboy the way some people are Apple fanboys.

TechCrunch: Forget All These Android Tablets, Let Me At That Chrome OS
e a tolerable replacement for a netbook or laptop ..... Chrome OS is a browser OS, and that will always be the focus. ..... Google will want this to be the simplest and cleanest browser experience out there. ..... Less need for storage and storage control, plus less demand on the CPU and other components means that the entire thing can be thinner and run cooler. .......a lightweight OS will always do more with fewer resources ...... Really instant on. All that really needs to be loaded into active memory is display, a blank browser page, and the wireless/IP stack. ..... a single-service device, crossed with the versatility of that single service ...... Chrome OS will offer a browser that you hold in your hand. ..... It’s a window into the web, and that’s all. ..... Viewing this rich, wonderful Internet of ours on a screen less than 7″ seems like self-flagellation to me. ...... the elegance and simplicity of the window into the web I hope Chrome OS will be.
Google's Nexus One Exit Has Chrome OS Implications OStatic (blog) Google has announced that it has received its final shipment of Nexus One phones and will be exiting its Nexus One phone business altogether ... the Nexus One sold in the neighborhood of 150,000 units .... In a matter of weeks, Google will be introducing Chrome OS to the world. Like Android, it's an open source OS, but is aimed at netbooks.

Bill Gates talks about Natal the way the Google people talk about Wave. Natal is Microsoft's next big thing, Wave is Google's. I get the impression the two pushes go on to further reinforce the image that Microsoft is a PC company, and Google is a web company. In Microsoft's world vision, the web is one of the many features your PC has, in Google's vision, the PC gets in the way o

f the web sometimes, and all the action that matters is on the web.

In Chrome OS the two visions collide. The naysayers have come out saying it is not easy to build an operating system. But I think a company that can give us Android can give us an operating system, on schedule. It is not to be completely Google's undertaking anyway. Google might be leading the effort, but it is to be open source.

So far the PC's selling point has been that there are some things you just can't do in a browser. HTML 5 and beyond will hollow out that argument, I think. Just a few more innovation cycles and the desktop is going to start to look poor in terms of all the features and functionalities it can't offer.

If the PC can do 3D, so can the browser, if the PC can do voice recognition, so can the browser, down the line.

The PC will not disappear. The ecosystem will evolve in a way that the PC will still be around, it is just it will no longer be the center of the universe.
