Google Chrome OS Tablet
Google [GOOG] has shown off a concept tablet running their Chrome OS. The concept was designed by Google Chrome’s UI lead designer Glen Murphy, and gives us a glimpse at possible future Google Tablet’s.
As you can see in the video below, one thing that stands out is the ability to multi-task on the Google Tablet, something which the Apple iPad is lacking.
If Google do produce a Chrome OS based tablet, and it does come with multi-tasking then it may just be the tablet that will give the Apple iPad some competition.
I wonder if we will see a tablet from Google this year, they are obviously working on one, it will be interesting to see what it is like.

Think there’ll definitely be a chrome os tablet as it sounds like an ideal environment for a lightweight PC OS. The iPad’s operating system is too limited and its difficult to fit the hardware required into a WIndows 7 tablet to get it to run well.
Don’t think it will be from google though, likely there’ll be a few from asus, acer, hp, dell etc. Could be a real winner.

Well, to be honest, I like apple products not because the are cool/expensive or whatever, but because they know how to make a good UI.
A tablet with a Microsoft windows on it would be pointless, since the UI and applications are designed to be used with a mouse… That’s the only reason (and a pretty good one) to prefer the ipad over everything else. But what I see here seems rather interesting !
However, they will need to have a lot of applications to make it usable… Who knows ?
