As you may already know, Google, in the coming year -2010, will introduce the much anticipated Google Chrome OS. But before that the race between different netbook companies to woo the market has already begun. Recently Dell came out with a compatible version for mini netbooks. Though Dell is not named in the official partner list by Google, it still helped itself get all the attention by introducing this compatible version.
Second in the row is Acer, which is claiming to be the first one to manufacture a netbook to support Google Chrome OS. In fact Acer has already begun the manufacturing work (started sometime in mid 2009).If Acer will live up to its claim or not cannot be said now. Last time we all saw that Acer failed in making netbooks those were to support Android (users could not install anything on these Android netbooks. Only the battery lasted longer with Android running on the netbook). This time Acer may actually be the first one to bring out netbooks for Chrome OS. But like I said earlier, nothing is confirmed.
For those who still have not heard of the Chrome OS news, Google Chrome Operating system will play both like a web-browser and an operating system. With that a user will not have to install various tools, softwares etc. Everything will be available on cloud; and one can just take it from there, use it and return it to the cloud. Simple. Once out in the market, the Chrome OS will make things a lot different from what it is now. So now you get why the race is so important.
We only hope is that users get a good, easy to use netbook for Google Chrome Operating System. Until then let’s wait and watch who else joins the race. Two of them have alreday joined…
