Tegra 2 Google Chrome Tablet Launching Nov 26?

WTF is the point of Chrome OS. Where does it fit between Android tablets and Windows 7 Tablets?

If it's near to be free with maybe 1 year contract with Verizon, great. I'm guessing 2-3 years at $30 or more per month, not so great.

As long as it has what the iPad lacks, which is quite a few things, actually, it might actually sell.

Google seems to think that it's a better solution for tablets... we'll see if they're right. Anyway, why are you upset over more choices?

That sounds pretty awesome... if it were running a heavily customized version Android 3.0 and gets 9+ hours of battery life.

So I read the article on Download squad...

You kind of make it sound like those are the specs, when really those specs are just a pure guess by the DLS author... and the min 32gb ssd? did you make that one up, cause even the specs the DLS guy made up didn't say that.

Not trying to nit pic here, but I respect Tom's and never really read the source material, but after reading this one it makes me wonder about the rest of the info I am hearing from you guys.

If those were the specs tho it would be great.

My deal is if I have to open another line on my Verizon account and sign another contract with data plan it won't be running Chrome. I'll wait until the Windows tablets come out. Not that I'm a Windows funboy just not going through all that trouble for a Chrome based tablet. Even if it was running Android it would have to be basically free with only a $10-$15/month data plan at most or I wouldn't consider it either.

The source does mention the 32gb ssd. Still, it says it's pure guess and here Tom's says it's fact.
Looks like Jane did a quick scan of the article with her eyes and missed the warnings of the site

HTC = Quality. Google = innovation.

I've been a fan of HTC phones for a long time, I've purchased 3. I love Android. HTC + Google = a good combination, I have faith that Chrome OS will show up to the party in a good way.

Edit: Website ate half my post >.>

Nvidia = Extreme power usage, hot and expensive, jkjk, that's Fermi.

I'm guessing it'll be a more desktop like experience than offered by android, with the ability to print documents etc.

HTC's great hardware + Google's great software = One awesome device

What could be like to have this thing?

i think the problem with all non apple tablets is having an operating system that is robust, but also efficient and easy to navigate. windows7 would still be too clunky. too many people arent familiar with linux. android is great, but it just isnt beefy enough. i think that is where chrome comes in. if google does this right they can out play apple and you can bet they will flood the market with these puppies.

wonder if the network can hold it.

Sorry, I thought I made it clear. All fixed!

whene will i be able to buy a real tablet.. not a overblown phone but a full fledged laptop in tablet form witha optical drive and a 320 gb HDD.
So that i can use it like a laptop

does it make turkey?

so this is great..i'll be waiting for the feedback before i'll choose which is best products

I really hope this would lead Nvidia to high end CPUs markets, I want AMD and Intel to drop their prices to 50bucks a quad core................rally badly

So it will allow me to install my printer?
I just went to Canon website to look for drivers and guess what?
Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix & O/S 400
Guess what, almost every other printer company is the same.

They promise a “wonderful printing solution” up their sleeves, they say it is "long tail" and “If printer support is important to you, Chrome OS is not the OS for you in 2010”

What I read from this is that Chrome has no printer support and have no idea how to fix it yet but are stringing people along. If you want printer support, get a tablet with a mainstream OS. Seeing as Apple has screwed its fanbase by denying them OSX that means choosing a Windows or Linux tablet.

What is this crappy "article"? This is nothing but wishful thinking, and has probably *nothing* to do with reality...

"It may have this and that, super display, be super fast, have 2 months battery life, and yeah - it will also be free!"

Come on Tom's HW - why are you even reporting this junk? It will only make people disappointed when the real products arrive...

- for mentioning Apple's product.

I look forward to non-Apple tablets but preferably with a Win7 tablet or Android, not a big on the idea of Chrome OS given that it's solely web based. Love the Chrome browser though!

+1! totally agree!

and actually black friday is only the 2nd or third busiest shopping day of the year. the day before christmas and the day after normally beat it.

Heh, hopefully this will get everyone's ass in gear for tablets this Christmas.

I want a tablet, but there needs to be more choice in product offerings.

Subsidized? Verizon 3g? Gimmie a frackin break already. If I picked up a tablet it would be for home use and wifi only spots. Dont force me into a wireless carrier data plan. Hell that cuts into your own smart phone market for chrissakes!!!!!!!

I just dont understand these tablets. You cant print from them, scan to them, or even use a wireless usb mouse for that matter. You can surf the net (just not flash). I dont understand paying more for something a netbook can do quicker, and better. I understand a touch screen smartphone. It has a use. Its a phone.

i find this statement weird because youre really only talking about the ipad but generalizing about all tablets with that information. maybe look into them some more and consider the ones coming out before you make assumptions about tablets in general.

I don't think I'll ever buy a tablet until it has a slide out keyboard like a lot of phone do. Not a fan of a touchscreen keyboard.

lol

Saw this article on Gizmodo Japan this morning. Not excited about ChromeOS, but hopefully it can put some pressure on iPad.

I'm still waiting for the tegra1 phone...
and HTC is not my favorite phone company; too many products that only 'mostly work' instead of work great. I'll pass.
