Acer Aims for Chrome OS Netbook in 2010
Techtree News Staff, Dec 03, 2009 1723 hrs ISTIts first Chrome OS running netbook
Last month, Google detailed its upcoming Chrome OS at its head quarters at Mountain View, California. Acer chairman JT Wang expressed that the first Chrome OS running netbook would be released from Acer next year, as reported by DigiTimes. Chrome OS will be launched next year in November (maybe) and would be available for public in late 2010.
Recently, Acer became the first netbook vendor to roll out dual-booting Acer Aspire One D250 netbook for Rs. 18,599. Acer might have been successful to become first Andriod based netbook selling vendor, but consumers (read: non-geeks) are reluctant to try out new Android OS. Note that Chrome OS is a separate from Android OS.
By the time Chrome OS gets ready, Intel's Moblin OS project will be in next phase along with Canonical's Ubuntu Remix for netbooks. Apart from the operating system, it's likely that each or either of the netbook OS would have its own App Store.
