The Web 2.0 summit was running, and we had some scoop of Chrome OS from Google that has been in development for a very long time. Everyone was confused when Google polished up their Android for tablets. This means that Android will be making it big in tablet markets, while having a fight with iOS in touchscreen smartphones. That’s why Engadget went to ask Google CEO Eric Schmidt during the Web 2.0 summit, and Schmidt confirmed that Chrome OS will officially be out in the next few months in Intel and ARM-powered netbooks while also adding that the OS was primarily “designed around something with a keyboard.” Of course, that doesn’t mean Chrome OS couldn’t pop up on tablets — he added that because it’s open source anything can happen, but he definitely stressed that Chrome is meant for clamshell devices with keyboards and Android tailored for those with touchscreens. That’s why we’ll be seeing some notebooks loaded with Chrome OS coming in these few months.
