Google Chrome OS Tablet Concept Revealed
February 2, 2010
From Telegraph
Google could be developing its own rival to the Apple iPad, after an engineer at the search company posted a video online showing a mock-up of the Chrome operating system running on a tablet computer.
A video – which appeared on the Chromium website, home of the open source project being
Google's Chrome web browser and operating system – shows a mock-up of a possible tablet user interface. It shows how both sides of a single, large screen could be used simultaneously to carry out computing tasks, such as writing emails and searching the web.
Although Chromium is not an official
Google website, the concept video has been put together by Glen Murphy, one of
Google's Chrome OS designers.
Google is also reportedly in discussions with Taiwanese consumer electronics giant HTC about making a touch-screen tablet computer.

A lot, actually. They're all signs that for the first time since the social media craze started to explode a few years ago, the emphasis is finally on "media."
