Nokia 6600i unleashed in India

Google Shows Off a Chrome Tablet With 1,000 Faces
With the tech world caught in the grip of iPad-mania, Google wants to pull a little focus to its own tablet plans. It has released some concept art depicting what a tablet based on the Chrome operating system might look like and what it might possibly be capable of doing. It could be more attractive than an iPad in some ways. Of course, it could also be a no-show, as nothing official is out of the bag yet.
Fresh off the introduction of its Nexus One smartphone, hailed by some tech analysts as the first real iPhone killer candidate, Google(Nasdaq: GOOG) has debuted mockups of a possible tablet device running its yet-to-be released Open source Chrome operating system.
Chrome OS Tablet Concept
The mockups, posted on Google's Chromium Web site, depict a device that might have a 5- to 10-inch screen, an on-screen keyboard, and a touch interface. An animated concept video shows the ability to launch multiple instances of the browser at once, meaning users would be able to multitask, a feature conspicuously absent from Apple's(Nasdaq: AAPL) recently announced iPad tablet.
Of course, that's not the only difference between the two tablet concepts. For one, Apple's is about to launch, with the first units expected to be available for purchase next month. Google's Chrome OS hasn't even been released to the public yet, much less built into a hardware device seen in the wild.
Numerous Web sites have reported that Google has been working with HTC, the same company that built the Nexus One, on a tablet and that some prototyping has been done. But an Australian news site, Channel News, reported that project was dead, citing an HTC marketing official there.
HTC did not immediately respond to LinuxInsider's request for information about a possible Google tablet. For it's part, Google was circumspect in its response. Spokesperson Eitan Bencuya provided only a widely reported statement noting that the operating system is still in development, that the company is doing a lot of research on it, and that new ideas are emerging all the time.
Google's promotion of its tablet work has something of a "me-too" feel that could, in part, be motivated by a perceived need to keep Android developers in the fold and unswayed by the lure of Apple's new playground, Chris Hazelton, research director for mobile and wireless at The 451 Group, told LinuxInsider.
With Apple and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) both fielding traditional operating systems, smartphones and tablets, Google needed to stake a claim in the field, as well, he said.
Google's tablet will differentiate itself on the basis of its cloud-computing roots, but that may not be enough to make it stand out in an increasingly crowded marketplace -- whenever, and if, it does arrive, said Hazelton.
"It will be different," he acknowledged, "but it may not be different enough to the end-user."
