Google has been working on its Chrome operating system for a while and it looks like the search giant is ready to unveil the operating system in May. Last week Google released a stable developer channel designed for Chrome OS, which only fueled rumors that the software would be offered in May at I/O conference held by Google.
Two years ago Google Chrome OS was debuted. It is considered to be an open-operating system designed for netbooks that were the hottest selling computers until the launch of iPad. After some delays it was disclosed by Google that Chrome OS based devices would be available in the market by mid-2011. In fact, a deadline is approaching.
Some used a chance to test Chrome OS through Google’s CR48 Chrome netbook. The device is equipped with a 12.1-inch screen, oversized touchpad, full keyboard, Web cam, 802.11 Wi-Fi, world-mode 3G, as well as eight hours of active battery life.
Due to the availability of iPad it is hard to say if Chrome OS netbooks stand a chance. In fact, it is necessary for such netbooks to be offered at a lower price. According to rumors, Asus is going to release a sub-$250 Chrome netbook which is created for people who are in need of basic productivity applications or they need to browse the Web.
Such companies as Hewlett-Packard, Toshiba, and Lenovo are also going to announce products running the browser-centric OS.
