Until today, we're still not sure what to think about Google Chrome OS, and if it has any place in the mobile computing ecosystem. Considering the only device using this in the wild is the CR-48, which only a handful of people around the world could get their hands on. While still in it's infancy, the Chrome OS could be great, but only as great as the connectivity around and the users embracing the cloud.
It looks like Google may be preparing Chrome OS for the tablet form factor. Hold up, you are probably thinking, what about the Android 3.0 Honeycomb which has been making waves in the tablet world? Well nothing's confirmed yet, but according to CNET, it has uncovered several changes to the Chrome and Chrome OS source code which nods towards a touch version of the OS as well as new touch-optimized features.
This may be an interesting direction that Google is taking with tablets, maybe integrating Chrome OS and Android somehow, or perhaps they are looking for Chrome to take over the tablet powering duties altogether. Alternatively, this could be a bored Google employees experiment and a potential "labs" implementation. Only time will tell. What do you think? Chrome OS replacing Android 3.0? Let us know in the comments!
