Google Chrome OS Arriving this Month?
I guess when there’s a lot of anticipation on something, sometimes things might get faster. We’ve talked before about Google Chrome OS announcement, and we’ve also said that users might get hands on it in the second half of 2010. But now, a Chinese netbooks manufacturer seems that is planning to release netbooks with a previous version of Chrome later this month.
Shanzai is announcing that the devices with the Loongson-CPU will have Google Chrome OS installed, and released by Lemote hardware manufacturer. And even though these are only rumors, there have been some snapshots available in the web of what seems to be Google’s OS:
The anticipation is increasing significantly, since we don’t have much data around this operating system. We know that it will be focused on netbooks, open source with a Linux kernel and user interface based mainly in a web experience.
Sounds good to me if an Asian hardware manufacturer is taking a chance with this new OS. We are all waiting for the moment to install and use Chrome OS.

Let’s hope this isn’t another SciPhone G2 where a Chinese manufacturer simply themes something to look like a Goggle product.
I didnt know that happened. I might have to check this out!
I’m really hoping this isn’t a scam either. But on the other hand, the official word from Google said that the project source code will be available later this year.
We’ll see.
Cheers!
