Regardless of tablets ruling the IFA show last week , Google still thinks the longer term is with netbooks-well, for Chrome OS anyway. In an interview with TechRadar , a Google product manager confirmed they’re prioritizing netbooks right this moment.
Anders Sandholm, senior product manager, said that what they ” are targeting is netbooks on the subject of form-factor and providing a very good experience for that,” taking place to claim that at its heart Chrome OS is an ” open source project and there are different experiments in things like touch and other form-factors.”
It’s still expected that Chrome OS might be ready for manufacturers by the top of the year, with products able to blow their own horns next year-presumably at CES in January. In case you’ve had your heart set on a Chrome OS tablet (in place of an Android tablet), I wouldn’t be too discouraged-there will little doubt be a plethora to choose between, nevertheless it’s interesting Google themselves think it’s better fitted to netbooks.
