Google Chrome OS – The Introduction
January 16th, 2010 / 4 Comments » / by AF8AB
Once upon a time, Google’s Chrome operating system was an exciting idea that offered far more questions than answers. But now we now know much more about what the company is working on and have even seen the OS in action. Basically, there are some important things you need to know about the Google Chromium operating system.
It’s not available yet.
So far, Google has launched only the open-source development project. This means developers and third-party partners (including hardware manufacturers) can download, compile, and install the code. Most important, they can change and enhance it. All those changes could pour back into what will become the first shipping product late next year. The rest of us will have to wait until then.
Every app. in Chrome is a Web app.
This means there are literally no desktop apps. Google execs reiterated this point by adding, “third party apps will work as long as they’re Web applications.” This fact could— and maybe should—scare you. All the application CDs you currently have sitting on shelves are useless with the Chrome OS. If you have a favorite drawing or scrapbooking application, you might as well throw it out if you plan on devoting your life to Chrome. On the other hand, it’s likely that you’ve started using more and more cloud-based applications to get work done.
Android-based netbook [eEe] — ASUS
February 23rd, 2009 / 3 Comments » / by sT*rchi1Ð
Asustek has allocated engineers to develop an Android-based netbook by as early as the year end, Samson Hu, head of the Taipei-based company’s Eee PC business, said in an interview yesterday. Asustek hasn’t decided whether to proceed with a final product because the project is still under development, he said.
Google introduced Android in 2007 as a software system for phones. Android is based on Linux, an “open-source” operating system that’s free and developed by hundreds of engineers worldwide. Microsoft offers an operating system for handsets called Windows Mobile.
