We’ve been waiting on pins and needles for Google to announce some official Android tablet plans for thus long we’d almost forgotten about Mountain View’s other operating system — but from what we’re hearing, Chrome OS is ready to jump to center stage with a tablet debut on Verizon in advance of the holidays. Our friends at Download Squad are told by a reliable tipster that HTC is building a Tegra 2-based Chrome OS tablet for Google with a 1280 x 720 multitouch display, 2GB of RAM, a minimum of 32GB of storage with the opportunity of expansion, GPS, a webcam, and the same old wireless connectivity, including a 3G radio. Launch is pegged for Black Friday on November 26, and apparently the plan is to provide the device for terribly cheap or free on subsidy, which is sensible — it’s only a browser, in any case, and ” free” sounds mighty nice compared to the iPad’s $499 entry point. (After all , you’ll undoubtedly be tied to a Verizon contract, but we’ll just let that slide for now.) We’ll see how much of this comes true within the following couple of months — we’re certainly intrigued.
