Some big news came out today in the ever-expanding world of tablet machines. Apparently HTC, Verizon, and Google are teaming up to release a Chrome OS tablet on Black Friday. For those of you who have been living under a rock, Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving and it’s the biggest shopping day of the year. This year it will be on November 26th. With all the buzz Android has been getting lately it’s been easy to forget about Google’s other OS. Though if this proves to be true that won’t be the case for long.
HTC and Google famously hooked up to bring us the Google Nexus One, an incredibly capable phone that didn’t achieve the sales results many thought it deserved. Since then Google CEO Eric Schmidt has said that they won’t be releasing a second Google phone, but apparently they still do want to get Google branded hardware out there. As of right now details are few but here’s what we think we know:
- NVidia Tegra 2 processor
- 1280×720 resolution multitouch display
- 2GB RAM
- Minimum 32GB SSD
- WiFi, Bluetooth, and 3G connectivity
- GPS
- Webcam
- Possible storage expansion via multi-card reader
- Cheaper than the iPad (with Verizon contract)
So with all the Android tablets expected to be released before or around the same time, will you be looking for an Android tablet or are you willing to be an early adopter to Chrome OS? Let us know what you think in the comments.
