Android open source os - Socrates - 10-22-2009
Anyone here like the new os android? It was originally released for the G1 and android based phones but Google decided to make it a full pc os. It seems lame because it is built around having a android based mobile phone.

It's actually not android. It's Google Chrome OS.
It doesn't seem lame either.

I have seen some screen shots. It really seems kinda boring.
RE: Android open source os - Extasey - 10-22-2009
I skimmed over it, and i had one main question.
If the applications are on the web, where will the hard-core processing be done? On the servers? Things like video-editing as well, whats going on with that?
Also, what of those with a slow internet connection? They will not be able to use the OS! (I mean 56kb/sec out in rural areas)
I don;t really like this idea, but we'll have to see when its released!

It's focused towards the netbook market.

What you see as boring I see as clean.

When is it's release date? Also, is the beta out yet? I wouldn't mind VMware it and have a play around.
