Google Chrome Netbook coming

Google is working with one hardware manufacture to build a Google branded netbook that will run the Chromium OS.

We applaud this decision by Google. Reason: OEMs are not able to get things quite right and we may not be able to get the experience the OS provider expected us to get.

We concur with techcrunch which is saying that the Chrome-powered by Google will most likely be powered by ARM processor. The reason is that it is much more power-frugal than the Atom processor and at the same time is able to run HD videos with no problem.

However, to get our hands  on this chromium netbook, we will have to wait until X-Mas next year.
