Devices with Google Chrome OS will appear in mid-October
Our trusted sources report that devices with support, so Google-branded, Chrome OS will begin to appear in mid-October. Netbooks are a major target niche for a future OS, but it's easy to assume that UMPCs or even desktop PCs will also receive support. Ergo, shanzhai devices, will come out with the OS in the specified period.
It will be interesting to see where and how Chrome OS and Android meet and intersect in products. I expect that Chrome OS will fall into many categories of devices (including smartbooks), and Android will remain on the phones.
We are sure that soon we will give a thorough review of the first devices with Chrome OS.
