]]> 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:

chrome02

chrome03

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.

]]> google_logoFinally Google announced what we’ve all been expecting for a long, long time: The Google Chrome OS. There are no big specifications about it, but we can be certain that will continue with the common characteristics of any Google web app available so far: fast, lightweight and with a great performance.

What we do know so far about Google Chrome operating system is:

  • Targeted to netbooks in their first stage.
  • Open-source operating system. Based on a Linux kernel.
  • Project source will be available “later” this year.
  • Customers will have the OS in the second half of 2010.
  • Minimal user interface. Based mostly on web experience.
  • Will run in x86 and ARM chips.

Also, another thing that the article mentions is that Android is a a completely different project, so we shouldn’t expect any similarities?
