Chrome OS

Here's another new google product that will be released to the public next year. This product, however, will not be free. Why? Well it isn't another awesome online product, it's actually a netbook that will take you straight to Google's collection of online suites. Need to write some notes? Well, with a chrome book, you won't head straight for word or notepad, you'll head for Google Docs. Google hopes that storing everything on the cloud( the web) will appeal to users, and is a major opportunity for Google to boost their advertising. Since the laptops rely solely on the internet, google has inbuilt a 3g internet chip from verizon to fill in the gap when you're not on wifi. Using a chromebook for simple things like documents, a Gps through Google Maps, youtube, etc. is faster than other web devices with the exception of only smartphones as it takes only 10 seconds to boot. Speed comes with it's setbacks though. The Chrome OS system currently only has it's basic suites, but developers must be working somewhere to bring more apps to the laptop. The netbook also doesn't have any usb ports, so people can't connect their iPhones or Mp3 players, or whatever they use. There is no cd drive either, but it does come with a webcam(duh). Google is currently giving laptops, called CR48'S to test users in it's pilot program to advertise the laptop and find errors in it's system. The laptops are set to come out next year.
