Shared by setalosasWe've been waiting on pins and needles for Google to announce some official Android tablet plans for so long we'd almost forgotten about Mountain View's other operating system -- but from what we're hearing, Chrome OS is about to jump to center stage with a tablet debut on Verizon just before 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, at least 32GB of storage with the possibility of expansion, GPS, a webcam, and the usual wireless connectivity, including a 3G radio. Launch is pegged for Black Friday on November 26, and apparently the plan is to offer the device for extremely cheap or free on subsidy, which makes sense -- it is just a browser, after all, and "free" sounds mighty nice compared to the iPad's $499 entry point. (Of course, 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 in the next few months -- we're certainly intrigued.
mondjuk ez ocsoer kene, es akkor ki tudnam varni azt a par honapot, amig lesz egy hasznalhato, tehat nem toy kategorias tablet vegre a piacon (magyarul nagyfelbontas + win7 + normalis cpu).
Update: DLS says that the specs here are "pure speculation," but that the source was solid on the launch date and Verizon partnership. Looks like we're still hanging on, we suppose.
