Google's Chrome Tablet
It’s only been a week since the iPad, and only a few days since the statement by Steve Jobs, with a few choice words for Google.
But now, this is Google’s tablet, as announced on their Chromium blog. Yeah, so Apple release a multitouch phone controlled around Apps and featuring an App store, and next – Google do. Then Apple release a multi-touch tablet… and so do Google.
I mean yeah, perhaps its inevitable for a computer company or a phone company to challenge the iPad or the iPhone, but a company who does not produce any physical product to start making phones after the competitors, and tablets after the competitors, is just kinda silly.
The tablet will run a multitouch version of Chrome OS, something I find peculiar if the OS is going to be ‘as lightweight as possible’.
I can imagine Jobs has some stronger words for Google.
