this is totally the same thing that happened to Apple in the past. Only difference is that Google is a lot better than Microsoft.
Only thing I care about, is weather it will run Flash or not.
- I think it's a safe bet Flash will be on this tablet.CyBrain

^ lol, another company coming out with a product makes it an automatic repeat of Windows vs Mac?
I wouldn't get too excited just yet. For one thing, seems like a somewhat different experience Google is shooting for - Chrome OS is not like iOS or Android, it's supposed to be based entirely around the Chrome browser. So it could be more Netbook-like than iPad-like.

Actually I should have linked here the first time.

Gotta say it's nice the way Google just throws it all out there for you to see.

I wish you hadn't called it "iPad Killer" because every time that you hear XX Product is the Established Product Killer" means that it's going to be a huge flop.
I look forward for something like this brings flash back (haha, see what i did there?)

I was in a taxi yesterday and noticed that the driver had an android phone. Turned out the guy wasn't really into technology, wasn't a geek or a developer - but his point of view was that Steve Jobs was being far too controlling with the Apple iOS platform and that it pissed him off, so he switched and got rid of the iPhone he'd previously loved.
If regular (non-tech) people are already coming to this conclusion, I think Apple might be dead in the water.
- yeah I have a friend that said the same thing to me, but about itunes, he works for sony thoughMiguex
- taxi drivers are indeed making the best life decisions. keep taking cues from them.lambsy
- well if he wouldn't been a taxi driver and someone who use ADOBE's SHIT, he would still had his IPHONE.akrokdesign
- also iphone's problem is REALLY nothing but AT&T.akrokdesign
- The taxi driver in question lives in the UK, so AT&T isn't any part of the problem. The reason he's a taxi driver probably has nothing to do with his choice of phone.lukus_W
- nothing to do with his choice of phone. The point is .. regular non-developers are realising independently that Apple are being too controlling. Everyone likes freedom .. Steve Jobs works against this universal desire.lukus_W
- being too controlling. Everyone likes freedom .. Steve Jobs works against this universal desire.lukus_W
- Steve Jobs has freedom to offer what he wants. You, freedom not to buy it. What you want is power to bully him into Flash.raf

"1280 x 720 multitouch display, 2GB of RAM,"
HAHA KEEP DREAMING!
Why would it need 2gig of ram anyway? Chrome OS is just a web browser it doesn't do anything else, there won't be any native apps..- 2GB is possible on any netbooklukus_W
- good thing it's a tablet then not a netbookPIZZA
- right now my Firefox is using 550MB real memory 1.6GB Virtualkingsteven

has there been any talk of battery life?a hefty battery is going to be needed to keep a hi-res screen and all that ram ticking over.
