As you may already know, Google, in the coming year -2010, will release the much expected Google Chrome OS. But before that the race between different netbook companies to woo the market has already begun. Just a while ago Dell came out with a compatible version for mini netbooks. Though Dell is not included 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 can be said with surety.
Those who are still unaware of the Chrome OS news, Google Chrome Operating system will play both like a browser and an operating system. With that one will not have to install various tools, softwares etc. Everything will be found on cloud; and one can just pick it up from there, use it and return it to the cloud. Simple. Once out in the market, the Chrome OS will make things so much different. So now you get why the race is so important.
All we can hope for is that users get a good, easy to use netbook for Google Chrome OS. Till then let’s wait and watch who else joins the race. Two of them have alreday joined…
