Netbook Partners for Google Chrome OS Announced
Not long after announcing the upcoming Google Chrome OS, Google dropped the names of a few vendors and manufacturers that would partner with Google to distribute the new operating system.
ASUS and Acer, the biggest names in the industry, will be working with Google and may release netbooks with the new OS. Also mentioned were Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, and Toshiba.
Chip makers like Freescale, Texas Instruments, and Qualcomm were also mentioned. It’s an exciting time for netbooks, and if Google’s web-based approach to computing goes far with consumers the result could be a sizeable shift in market structure.
