Why would it look like an ipad rip-off?

Have all the previous tablets, including the android ones demoed the last ½ year, been sucked into the reality distortion field already??]]>Feb 2nd 2010 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/
You do know this is Google we're talking about? LOL.
Why wouldn't they give us that?

The Chrome OS already has all that. So since this is just a touch enabled version (supposedly) then it should have everything the normal Chrome OS has.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/

- Parent said "lets just hope it supports Multitsking, USB support, SD Card Support, Wide screen Support"
- You said "The Chrome OS already has all that"
- I corrected you, since it in fact does not have user-level multitasking.

I'm intimately familiar with this subject matter. You shouldn't assume otherwise. We all know what assume means but in this case the result would be rather one-sided.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/
Hmm. Yet in the OS concept it showed the ability to open multiple windows, use other apps (you see where he clicked the Chrome logo and a list of apps popped up, yeah that), Lala, Hulu, chat/IM, downloads...all while the current window is still running.

Hmm...that sounds like multitasking to me. So come again.

You're making yourself seem like an idiot, so it was a pretty strong assumption that proved right by way of your response that it doesn't have multitasking.

So once again I state, why are you speaking on things you don't seem too knowledgeable about?]]>Feb 2nd 2010 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/am I the only one that thinks that keyboard looks too much like an ipad keyboard?

Any reason as to why you wouldn't want to run Ubuntu on a tablet? There is no difference between the core of Ubuntu, Android, or Maemo, besides specialized extensions and UI experiences. Though, Ubuntu MID should have a great chance at being good, they would still have to root out unneeded applications and typical crap that comes on it out of the "box".

Though, I don't believe I'd want an Ubuntu tablet, seeing as how bloated it is when it comes to Linux OSs.

Now Moblin, that would be sick if it were modified slightly to incorporate touchscreen support, along with an equally good quality capacitive OLED screen, not too big, not too small, with an option for either a hardware keyboard and d-pad or a really slick touch UI keyboard and gesture system. Android + Moblin - engadget comparisons of everything to iPad = I'd buy it if executed properly.

I still don't know why Google developed Chrome OS, why not a variation of Android for tablet and netbooks rather than a web browser with cloud apps?]]>Feb 2nd 2010 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/Feb 2nd 2010 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/Feb 2nd 2010 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/HEY COMPANIES!

That pretty much sounds like multi-tasking to me...]]>Feb 2nd 2010 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/Feb 2nd 2010 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/
How about we relax with the conjecture? Manipulating the tab interface to work more like classic windows on screens with a reasonable amount of real-estate is possible.

Additionally, multitasking doesn't necessarily involve having two windows open side by side. Many smart-phones multitask even though their screen real-estate doesn't allow for windows. All it means is that a process can continue doing it's thing in the background without having the app pause indefinitely or shut down.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/
Obviously both devices run multitasking operating systems and have several tasks running at all times but what people were complaining about is the ability to swap between multiple user-installed interactive applications. The iPad doesn't support that and neither does Chrome OS.

We don't know yet whether Safari for iPad will continue to run JS code in background tabs (I'm hoping it will) but that's not what people were complaining about nor is it what I was referring to in my comment.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/google-mum-on-chrome-os-touch-support-chromium-devs-show-us-how/
